About our shower tray repair in Higham

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

FAQs for Higham

Are there extra charges for Higham?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Higham?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What we are called out for in Higham

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Higham

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S75 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
