Shower tray repair in South Yardley without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place.

South Yardley questions
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you cover South Yardley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to South Yardley and the rest of Birmingham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in South Yardley
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
