What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Highburton
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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Highburton: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Highburton
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
