Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair at your home in Hightae

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hightae and across Dumfries and Galloway.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Hightae

What areas do you cover?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What we cannot put right

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repairing versus replacing in Hightae

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hightae

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
