How we handle shower tray repair in Westgate

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace in Westgate?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Westgate clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
