Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in Hawthorn
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Hawthorn: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Hawthorn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hawthorn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
