Shower tray repair in Clapham Junction without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Clapham Junction get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Clapham Junction
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Clapham Junction: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
