How we handle shower tray repair in Westwood
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Westwood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Westwood
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Are there extra charges for Westwood?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Westwood
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
