Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Swalwell and the rest of Gateshead. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What else we do in Swalwell
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself 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.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
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.
