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. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. 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. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. 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. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. 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 isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare 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. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision spray gun. 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!
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. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. 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. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
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. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
1) Get in touch for professional guidance.
