Signs you need shower tray repair in Rowlands Gill
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rowlands Gill. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE39 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Questions from Rowlands Gill
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repair or replace in Rowlands Gill?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

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