Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. 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. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. 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. 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.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original 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. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily 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. 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. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. 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.
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. 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’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 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. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 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. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. With shower trays, it can be easy to see marks and imperfections on them, especially if you have a light or window right next to the shower tray. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. 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. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
