Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. 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. 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.
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. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday 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. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. 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.
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. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 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. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. 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. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
