Shower tray repair at your home in Selly Oak
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Selly Oak
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Selly Oak
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Selly Oak
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
