Trusted shower tray repair in Clerkenwell

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Clerkenwell

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s damage around the waste and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Clerkenwell

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Repair or replace in Clerkenwell?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Clerkenwell

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Clerkenwell

The process

On the day itself, there’s 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, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
