- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include

How we handle shower tray repair in West End
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Advice
Common questions in West End
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does shower tray repair cost in West End?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What affects the price in West End
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in West End
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
