How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
