Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different 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. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
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. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. 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 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. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t 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.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
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. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 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. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
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. 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.
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. With shower trays, it can be easy to see marks and imperfections on them, especially if you have a light or window right next to the shower tray. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my 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. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
