Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Hockley, Birmingham
Shower tray repair in Hockley without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
