There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. 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. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
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. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring 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. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. If the whole surface has been damaged or there are more than just a few chips, we would ideally resurface your shower tray to make sure it looks new again. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.

A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. 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 refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. 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. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. 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?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the 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 still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
