Shower tray repair in Higherford, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
