Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hightown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Shower tray repair in Hightown without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Hightown and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
When to call us in Hightown
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
Repair or replace in Hightown?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hightown
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Do you cover Hightown?
We do. We send a technician to Hightown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hightown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
