There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. 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. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. 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.
Did you know that shower trays can have different shades of white? Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily use.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. 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. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. If the whole surface has been damaged or there are more than just a few chips, we would ideally resurface your shower tray to make sure it looks new again. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.

Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. 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 want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. 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. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
