Shower tray repair near Hightown Heights

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Hightown Heights

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Hightown Heights

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hightown Heights

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we are called out for in Hightown Heights

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
