Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Westdene without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and a cracked shower tray.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Westdene and across Brighton and Hove.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Westdene
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover Westdene?
We do. Technicians travel to Westdene from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlord and trade work in Westdene
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
