Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Unfortunately, all of these materials are prone to damage caused by impacts, strong chemicals, and even too much pressure if they have not been installed correctly. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
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. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
The first step in any shower tray repair is identifying the level of damage. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. 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 only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. 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. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How durable is a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
