How we handle shower tray repair in Clapham

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlord and trade work in Clapham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clapham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Clapham

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Clapham?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Common problems we fix in Clapham

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Clapham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Clapham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

  • Acrylic
