What we’re called out for in Northbourne
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Northbourne
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Northbourne included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Northbourne?
We do. Technicians travel to Northbourne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
