About our shower tray repair in Westdean

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Westdean

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Westdean. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

When to call us in Westdean

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
