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. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. 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.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. 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.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish 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.
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. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. 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. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
