Default How can I repair the turntable floor in a microwave oven?

I have a Sanyo domestic microwave oven approximately 8 years old that
still functions all right. The problem is that the floor of the oven
on which the glass turntable rotates on its spindle is rusted through
in one or two places. The turntable still rotates okay, but if the
floor is left to rust through further, sooner or later the little
carrier wheels that support the turntable will get trapped and the
turntable will lock up or something.

How could I repair the base of the oven? I have thought of Kurust
first, followed by a layer of epoxy resin soaked fibreglass from
Halfords. Any other ideas? It seems daft to buy a new microwave if the
actual heating feature works fine.

When our Panasonic microwave failed after about 5 years I took it off for
repair and was quoted about £125 when a brand new one was 20 quid more.

Needless to say we went for a brand new one.
