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. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
Did you know that shower trays can have different shades of white? 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. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. I have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
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. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. 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 reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 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. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. 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 repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. 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. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
