Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. 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. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. 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.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will 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.
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. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
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. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. 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 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. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 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. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. 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 only use the best quality professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
