Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. 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 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.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. 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. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. 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. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
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 will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision spray gun. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
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. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
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. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. 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 will a shower tray repair last?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
