When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in East Markham
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
