Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Westbourne. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Westbourne

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Questions from Westbourne

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Westbourne and the rest of Bournemouth. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Westbourne?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Westbourne and the rest of Bournemouth. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for Westbourne?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need shower tray repair in Westbourne?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
