There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Unfortunately, all of these materials are prone to damage caused by impacts, strong chemicals, and even too much pressure if they have not been installed correctly. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. If your shower tray needs to be resurfaced, I can do this too; the procedure takes a bit longer than a chip repair, and you'll have a brand-new looking shower tray at the end of it, which you can use again the next day. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with 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. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. I have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad 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 reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. When I arrive to do the repair, I will first clean the area and apply a layer of bonder to prep for the filler. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
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. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. 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 stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
