Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repair or replace in South Darenth?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in South Darenth
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
