DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Common problems we fix in Highbridge

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste

Our hiring checklist

Highbridge questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Highbridge?

We do. We send a technician to Highbridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Repairing versus replacing in Highbridge

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
