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. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. If your shower tray needs to be resurfaced, I can do this too; the procedure takes a bit longer than a chip repair, and you'll have a brand-new looking shower tray at the end of it, which you can use again the next day. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
Did you know that shower trays can have different shades of white? 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. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
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. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. 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. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad the damage is. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
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'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. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done 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. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. 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. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How durable is a shower tray repair?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray 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. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
