Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. 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. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. 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. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. 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 have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. 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. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
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. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 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. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. 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. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
