Shower tray repair for Westwood homes

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Westwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Questions from Westwood

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Westwood?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Westwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
