Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Clapton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
