Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
FAQs for High Westwood
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
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.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NE17 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in High Westwood
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
