Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
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 often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Common questions in Whiteleas
Do you cover Whiteleas?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Whiteleas from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Common problems we fix in Whiteleas
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
