Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Rotton Park, Birmingham

- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Shower tray repair in Rotton Park, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Rotton Park
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Rotton Park
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What affects the price in Rotton Park
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rotton Park. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Rotton Park
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Common problems we fix in Rotton Park
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
