Shower tray repair at your home in Perry Barr
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Perry Barr: your questions answered
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Perry Barr?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Perry Barr for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, 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 it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Perry Barr
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
