DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked 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.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
