Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Folds
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Shower tray repair in Higher Folds without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Higher Folds
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Higher Folds. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about shower tray repair in Higher Folds
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do you cover the entire of Wigan?
We work UK-wide, so Higher Folds is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Higher Folds?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Higher Folds for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
