There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and 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. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. 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. 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. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their 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. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. 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. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. 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. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular 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 could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. 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 quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. 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. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
