Shower tray repair in Tongwell without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, we can help, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Tongwell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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

When to call us in Tongwell

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we work on in Tongwell

  • Ceramic

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Tongwell clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Tongwell

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
