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. 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. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. 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. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. 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. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling 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. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
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. 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. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. When I arrive to do the repair, I will first clean the area and apply a layer of bonder to prep for the filler. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision spray gun. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 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 can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
