Shower tray repair in Highbrook, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a dull, stained or worn surface, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Highbrook
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
Everywhere in the UK, Highbrook included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Highbrook
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
For a price in Highbrook, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
