What we are called out for in Higher Town
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Higher Town contact us are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
What affects the price in Higher Town
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Higher Town
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Higher Town
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
