Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. 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. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. 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 create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. 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.
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. 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. 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. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
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. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad the damage is. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. 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. 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 this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 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. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
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 can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. 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 think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
