Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. Most shower trays on the market are constructed 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. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. 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. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. 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.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. 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. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
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. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive 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. 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. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 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. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. 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. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
1) Give me a call for advice.
2) Inform me of the damage, and I’ll guide you through the next steps.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
