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. 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. 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. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. 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. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it 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. 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. 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. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 3. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 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. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
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. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. 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. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
