Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly 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. 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.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Different manufacturers use different materials to produce their shower trays, and even things like exposure to sunlight and chemicals can affect the shade of white it is. 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. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. 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. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. 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. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. When I arrive to do the repair, I will first clean the area and apply a layer of bonder to prep for the filler. 3. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 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. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 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. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. With shower trays, it can be easy to see marks and imperfections on them, especially if you have a light or window right next to the shower tray. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. 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.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. 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 durable is a shower tray repair?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. 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) Reach out to discuss your repair options.
