How we handle shower tray repair in Lower Clapton

You don’t 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 ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a tray that flexes.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

FAQs for Lower Clapton

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How to compare quotes

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 normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Clapton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s 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.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
