Shower tray repair in West Cross, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we’re called out for in West Cross
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
West Cross questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
