Shower tray repair in Westerton without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. 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. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Westerton: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repair or replace in Westerton?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

What we are called out for in Westerton

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
