Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. Unfortunately, all of these materials are prone to damage caused by impacts, strong chemicals, and even too much pressure if they have not been installed correctly. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. I can repair all types of damage to shower trays in a few hours, which saves you a lot of time and money over replacing it. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. 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. 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. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. 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. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. 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. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free 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. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. If the damage is more extensive or the shower tray needs to be resurfaced, this will take longer, but I always aim to have all the damage repaired in just 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. 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. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
