Friern Barnet: your questions answered
Do you reseal the tray as well?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Friern Barnet
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
