Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Common questions in Richborough Port
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Common problems we fix in Richborough Port
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
