How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Felindre
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
