Your questions about shower tray repair in Clapton
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Shower tray repair in Clapton without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and damage around the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Clapton
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- 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.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
We price from photos 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 you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will 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.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Clapton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairing versus replacing in Clapton
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Clapton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
