What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Westerfield
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Westerfield
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron

FAQs for Westerfield
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you come to Westerfield?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Westerfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Westerfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
