Shower tray repair at your home in Solihull
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Solihull: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Solihull and the rest of Solihull. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Solihull
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 normally come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
