Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. I can repair all types of damage to shower trays in a few hours, which saves you a lot of time and money over replacing it. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. Shower tray resurfacing is an option if needed; while it takes longer than a simple chip repair, the results are stunning, and you can use it again the next day. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. 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. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
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. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. 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. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 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. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in 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.
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. 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. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. That won't happen with my repairs. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long will a shower tray repair last?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. 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. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
