Shower tray repair at your home in High Dyke
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, whatever the material.
Rural addresses like High Dyke just need a little planning, and we’ll organise the visit.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use. In a village or hamlet like High Dyke, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Do you come out to small places like High Dyke?
Yes, we do: High Dyke is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in High Dyke?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Older homes around High Dyke may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
