Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. 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. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated 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. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. Sometimes the location of the chip in the shower tray makes it very difficult to get an invisible repair, which is why we never say your repair will be invisible, but you shouldn't be able to see it with normal usage.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. 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. 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. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. 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. 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. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision spray gun. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in 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. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar 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. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
