Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlord and trade work in Wharton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wharton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Wharton questions

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wharton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you reseal the tray as well?

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
