Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Short Heath
How much does shower tray repair cost in Short Heath?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Short Heath?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
