Shower tray repair in Midland, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
If you are in Midland and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Midland
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Midland
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Midland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Midland
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Midland questions
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Midland?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
