How we handle shower tray repair in Highgate

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Walsall.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highgate

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highgate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Walsall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need shower tray repair in Highgate?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Highgate questions

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Highgate?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Highgate and the rest of Walsall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Highgate included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Highgate

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
