Buslingthorpe questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you come to Buslingthorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Buslingthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, 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 the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Buslingthorpe
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
