For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sandwell and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Barr. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Barr
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Great Barr?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B43 postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Great Barr
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
