How we handle shower tray repair in Rowhedge
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Rowhedge
Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rowhedge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our full price list.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we are called out for in Rowhedge
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste

- Scuffs and light scratches

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. 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.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
