Parr questions
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
