How we handle shower tray repair in Highfield

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Highfield: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Highfield?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Highfield?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO17 postcode.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

What we’re called out for in Highfield

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Highfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Highfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Southampton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
