Shower Tray Repair for Rodwell homes
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing at your home in Rodwell, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Shower tray repair in Rodwell without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Rodwell
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rodwell. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Rodwell
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste

Before you book anyone

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Common questions in Rodwell
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 normally the cheaper route.
