There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. 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. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. 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. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
The majority of shower tray repairs take around 1-2 hours to finish. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. 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. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
I only use the best quality 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. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. 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.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.

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