What affects the price in Highfields Caldecote
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Highfields Caldecote and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Highfields Caldecote questions
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Highfields Caldecote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
