Shower tray repair at your home in Upper Birchwood
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Upper Birchwood. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Upper Birchwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Upper Birchwood
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Upper Birchwood included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What else we do in Upper Birchwood
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Birchwood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
