Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. Shower tray resurfacing is an option if needed; while it takes longer than a simple chip repair, the results are stunning, and you can use it again the next day. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. I have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. If the whole surface has been damaged or there are more than just a few chips, we would ideally resurface your shower tray to make sure it looks new again. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.

Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. That won't happen with my repairs. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
