For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What affects the price in Clapton

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Clapton clients choose us

Clapton: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Clapton and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I book?

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
