Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we handle shower tray repair in Handsworth Wood
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Handsworth Wood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Handsworth Wood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Handsworth Wood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
