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. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. 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. 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. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. 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. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. 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. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches 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. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
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. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 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. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
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 repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. 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.
2) Inform me of the damage, and I’ll guide you through the next steps.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
