What we’re called out for in Highstead
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
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
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, 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.
Why Highstead customers choose us
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common questions in Highstead
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
