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. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. 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. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. 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. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. 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 custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily use.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional 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. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. If the whole surface has been damaged or there are more than just a few chips, we would ideally resurface your shower tray to make sure it looks new again. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. Any damage, such as holes, chips, or cracks, will be carefully filled in. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
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. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
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. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
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. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
1) Contact me for quick and reliable advice.
2) Share details of the damage so I can provide the best solution.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
