Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. 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. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. 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. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily use.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine 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. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. 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 structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. Any damage, such as holes, chips, or cracks, will be carefully filled in. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. 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. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. 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. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. 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. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
1) Give me a call for advice.
2) Describe the issue, and I’ll assess how best to fix it.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
