Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Cold Higham

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Cold Higham customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Cold Higham

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cold Higham. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Cold Higham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Cold Higham: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you come to Cold Higham?

We do. We send a technician to Cold Higham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
