Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Highcliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Highcliffe: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When to call us in Highcliffe
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Highcliffe, 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.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
