Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Shalmsford Street
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shalmsford Street. The price reflects:
- The material

- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Shalmsford Street and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
