Common problems we fix in Bugbrooke
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

About our shower tray repair in Bugbrooke
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bugbrooke as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What else we do in Bugbrooke
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Bugbrooke
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Bugbrooke?
We do. Technicians travel to Bugbrooke from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
