Shower tray repair in Highertown, done in place
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Common problems we fix in Highertown
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What affects the price in Highertown
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
