The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Sparkbrook
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Sparkbrook?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
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.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. 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.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Sparkbrook
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
