Shower tray repair for Tong homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Shower tray repair in Tong without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Tong: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

All of Bradford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tong. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
