About our shower tray repair in High Lane
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in High Lane
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
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.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Repair or replace in High Lane?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
