Shower tray repair in Lower Birchwood without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When to call us in Lower Birchwood
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lower Birchwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Lower Birchwood: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Birchwood
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
