Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlord and trade work in Fence Houses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
