When to call us in Barrowden

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Barrowden
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What else we do in Barrowden
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
