Shower tray repair for Highoak homes

Highoak: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Shower tray repair in Highoak, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it, across ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Highoak as everywhere else we work.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Highoak?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Highoak

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, 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, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
