How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place

How it works

- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
