There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. 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 create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. 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. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. If structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. When I arrive to do the repair, I will first clean the area and apply a layer of bonder to prep for the filler. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
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. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.

2) Describe the issue, and I’ll assess how best to fix it.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
