Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and 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. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. 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 your shower tray needs to be resurfaced, I can do this too; the procedure takes a bit longer than a chip repair, and you'll have a brand-new looking shower tray at the end of it, which you can use 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. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original 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. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine 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 minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. 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. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you 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. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 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. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done 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. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior 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. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. That won't happen with my repairs. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long will a shower tray repair last?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
1) Give me a call for advice.
2) Let me know what damage has occurred.
3) I'll get a quote sent to you and your repair booked in.
