Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified 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. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. 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. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. One of the most important parts of doing a shower tray repair is to colour match the new paint for the repair exactly to your existing 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. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
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. 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. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
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. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
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. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. 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 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. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine 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!
The majority of shower tray repairs take around 1-2 hours to finish. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. 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. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. 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?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. 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.
