There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. 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. If your shower tray needs to be resurfaced, I can do this too; the procedure takes a bit longer than a chip repair, and you'll have a brand-new looking shower tray at the end of it, which you can use again the next day. 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.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Different manufacturers use different materials to produce their shower trays, and even things like exposure to sunlight and chemicals can affect the shade of white it is. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. Sometimes the location of the chip in the shower tray makes it very difficult to get an invisible repair, which is why we never say your repair will be invisible, but you shouldn't be able to see it with normal usage.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. Where the damage has actually broken through the shower tray, or is structural, we'll have to decide if the shower tray can be reinforced from underneath before repairing it. If structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
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. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 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!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. If the damage is more extensive or the shower tray needs to be resurfaced, this will take longer, but I always aim to have all the damage repaired in just one visit. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. 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. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. 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 don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. 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. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
