Trusted shower tray repair in Tongland

Shower tray repair at your home in Tongland

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

Homes around Tongland often have showers added to older buildings, and we always check the tray’s support first.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Replacement in Tongland means trades, travel and waste removal, while shower tray repair is one trip.

Our shower tray repair starts 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.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Do you need shower tray repair in Tongland?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste

Facilities teams at buildings such as Kirkcudbright Academy can book us for changing-room showers too.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Tongland

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. 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. Somewhere like Tongland needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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 typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Tongland

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
