When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Aird Tong

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aird Tong questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Aird Tong. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Aird Tong

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
