Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface, on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.

When to call us in High Grange

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about shower tray repair in High Grange

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Are there extra charges for High Grange?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What affects the price in High Grange

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in High Grange, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why High Grange customers choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
