What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Common questions in Fishburn

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Fishburn
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
