There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal 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. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. 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.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
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. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
1) Reach out to discuss your repair options.

3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
