Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Unfortunately, all of these materials are prone to damage caused by impacts, strong chemicals, and even too much pressure if they have not been installed correctly. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. 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. Shower tray resurfacing is an option if needed; while it takes longer than a simple chip repair, the results are stunning, and you can use it again the next day. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. 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 understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. 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. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. 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 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. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. 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. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. Any damage, such as holes, chips, or cracks, will be carefully filled in. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday 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.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
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. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
1) Get in touch for professional guidance.

3) I'll get a quote sent to you and your repair booked in.
