Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
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. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. 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 may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. 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 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. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
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. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. 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. 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. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
