Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or 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 specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. 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. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. 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. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. Where the damage has actually broken through the shower tray, or is structural, we'll have to decide if the shower tray can be reinforced from underneath before repairing it. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
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. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
The majority of shower tray repairs take around 1-2 hours to finish. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. 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 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 want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. 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. 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. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
