Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Different manufacturers use different materials to produce their shower trays, and even things like exposure to sunlight and chemicals can affect the shade of white it is. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
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. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. 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. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. Any damage, such as holes, chips, or cracks, will be carefully filled in. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
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.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. 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 want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. 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?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. 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.
