In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Swaffham Bulbeck
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What else we do in Swaffham Bulbeck
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
