DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle shower tray repair in Westgate
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 screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Westgate?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Westgate
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Westgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Westgate
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Westgate
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
