There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. I can repair all types of damage to shower trays in a few hours, which saves you a lot of time and money over replacing it. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. 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. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
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. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. 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.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. 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.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.

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. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
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 always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. With shower trays, it can be easy to see marks and imperfections on them, especially if you have a light or window right next to the shower tray. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
