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. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. 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. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. 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 do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. 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.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. 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. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision 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. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. 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 structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
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. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
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. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. 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 long will a shower tray repair last?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. 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. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
