The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- 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 Lower Stoke
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
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. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Lower Stoke questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Lower Stoke?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lower Stoke. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
