Common problems we fix in Rowe

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Rowe, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rowe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Rowe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common questions in Rowe

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
