How we handle shower tray repair in Hamstead
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and scuffs and light scratches.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Close by, we cover Tower Hill (1 mile north-east), Browns Green (1 mile south), Perry Beeches (1 mile north-east), Perry Barr (1 mile south-east) and Newton (1 mile north-west).

Landlord and trade work in Hamstead
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamstead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Hamstead
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Hamstead?
We do. Technicians travel to Hamstead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
