There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. 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. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. 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. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. 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. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad 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 reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.

The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 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. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
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. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair 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. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. 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 the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long will a shower tray repair last?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. 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.
