Shower tray repair in Higham

How we handle shower tray repair in Higham

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, in ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

FAQs for Higham

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Higham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not 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 price.

Repairing versus replacing in Higham

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
