Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Higham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place

Higham questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Higham?

Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When to call us in Higham
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
