How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
