Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Lower Gravenhurst
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lower Gravenhurst.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
