Shower tray repair at your home in West Smethwick
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in West Smethwick and across Birmingham.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Smethwick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in West Smethwick
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

West Smethwick: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What affects the price in West Smethwick
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
