How we handle shower tray repair in Tong

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for Tong

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Do you need shower tray repair in Tong?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Tong contact us are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tong

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Tong, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace in Tong?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically 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

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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