Shower tray repair at your home in Higher End
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Higher End
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Higher End questions
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Higher End included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
