Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Cross Lanes: your questions answered
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
