What we’re called out for in Great Broughton
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
