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. 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 specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated 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. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. 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. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
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. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
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. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 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. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 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!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
1) Get in touch for professional guidance.

3) I’ll send you a no-obligation quote and arrange your repair.
