Plastic Surface Repair Specialists: Plastic, GRP & Fibreglass
We are plastic surface repair specialists working across homes and businesses in the North West, restoring cracked plastic panels, chipped GRP doors and damaged fibreglass shower trays in place rather than replacing them. The surface is repaired where it sits, and the finish is hard to spot afterwards.
A cracked plastic panel doesn't mean a full replacement. Neither does a chipped GRP door or a damaged fibreglass shower tray.
We repair plastic, GRP, and fibreglass surfaces as part of our wider hard-surface repair services, covering everything from bathroom fittings to commercial cladding panels. If a surface can be repaired instead of replaced, that's what we'll recommend.

Plastic repair company: What can be repaired?
We repair a wide range of plastic, GRP and fibreglass surfaces around homes and commercial buildings. Below are some of the most common examples. If your damaged surface isn't mentioned here, get in touch, and we'll let you know how we can help.
GRP doors - Cracks, scratches and impact damage to composite front doors can usually be repaired without a new door.
Plastic trims - Window trims, cladding trims and edging strips can crack or discolour with age. We restore them in place.
Composite panels - Cladding and decorative panels take knocks over time. Repairs blend into the surrounding surface.
Bathroom fixtures - Baths, shower trays and enclosures made from GRP or acrylic can crack, chip or stain. We restore them without removing fittings, and we also offer dedicated bath and sink repairs for wider bathroom damage.
Window components - Plastic sills, frames and trims can crack from UV exposure or accidental impact. Where fading covers a wider area, our UPVC restoration service can refresh the whole frame.
Moulded surfaces - Curved or shaped plastic components need careful repair work to preserve their original form.
Commercial fittings - Reception desks, panels and fixtures in retail or office spaces take daily wear and tear.
Decorative panels - Textured or patterned plastic panels need colour and texture matching to repair well.
Common types of plastic surface damage we fix
Different damage types respond to different techniques, and getting the diagnosis right at the start saves time and cost later. Below are the most common types of plastic and GRP damage we're called out to assess.
Cracks: These usually come from impact, pressure or age. Left alone, cracks tend to spread, particularly from a fixing point or corner where the material is under the most stress.
Chips: Small chips are common on edges and corners, where knocks happen most.
Scratches: Surface scratches affect appearance without always affecting structural strength, though they can dull a gloss finish over time.
Dents: Impact can leave a dent in plastic panels, especially thinner or moulded sections.
Impact damage: Heavier knocks can crack, chip or deform a surface in one go.
Worn finishes: Years of use can dull a once-glossy plastic surface, particularly around handles and other high-contact areas.
Fading: UV exposure fades plastic and GRP surfaces over time, especially outdoors, with south-facing panels usually showing the most noticeable colour loss.
Broken edges: Edges and corners tend to take a lot of damage, since they're the most exposed.
Whatever the damage, it's worth getting a repair assessment before assuming replacement is the only option.
GRP and fibreglass repairs
You'll find GRP and fibreglass in composite doors, bath and shower units, roofing, cladding and boat and caravan panels.
Both materials are strong and weather resistant, but they can still crack, chip or delaminate over time. Impact damage is common, especially on doors and external panels, and prolonged UV exposure can also leave the surface layer brittle and more prone to cracking.
Professional GRP and fibreglass repairs restore both the structure and the appearance of the surface. A proper repair rebuilds strength beneath the surface, not just the look on top, using resin and reinforcement suited to the original construction.
This matters most on load-bearing or weather-exposed surfaces, where a cosmetic-only fix won't last. We also carry out resurfacing work where a surface needs a full refinish rather than a localised repair, particularly on older GRP roofing and larger cladding runs.
GRP repairs for roofing, leisure and commercial use
GRP isn't limited to bathrooms and doors. It's also widely used on flat roofing, dormer coverings, boats, caravans and motorhomes, along with commercial fittings like reception desks, panels and signage.
Flat GRP roofing can crack, blister or lose its watertight seal over time, particularly around joints, edges and areas where standing water tends to collect. Left unaddressed, this can lead to leaks into the structure below, which cost far more to put right than the original surface damage would have.
Boats, caravans and motorhomes rely on GRP panels to stay weatherproof as well as good-looking. Cracks and chips here aren't just cosmetic. They can let moisture into the structure underneath, particularly over a winter spent in storage, where damage can go unnoticed for months.
Commercial fittings made from GRP or hard plastic, such as reception desks, retail counters and display panels, take constant daily contact from customers and staff. Chips and scratches here affect how professional a space looks, especially in the areas customers notice first when they walk in.
Whatever the setting, we repair it to restore both function and appearance.
Get in touch if you're dealing with damage to a roof, leisure vehicle or commercial fitting, and we'll tell you plainly what repair can achieve.
Repair instead of replacement
Replacing a plastic, GRP, or fibreglass fixture is rarely simple. Costs add up fast once you include labour, materials and disposal.
Lower cost - A professional repair usually costs a fraction of full replacement.
Reduced disruption - Repairs are usually completed in a single visit, without removing fittings or fixtures.
Preserving fitted components - Many plastic and GRP items are built into a wider structure. Removing them can damage surrounding surfaces.
Extending product lifespan - A well-repaired surface can perform for years beyond its original damage.
Reducing waste - Repairing a surface keeps it in use rather than in landfill.
Small repairs can protect expensive installations.
