About our shower tray repair in Highfield
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface, across ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Highfield. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Highfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take 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 for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
