Shower tray repair in Westwoods, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Westwoods

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Westwoods questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Westwoods. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
