Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Polbathic.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What affects the price in Polbathic
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Quotes from your pictures

- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Polbathic
- Enamelled steel

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
