Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. 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. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. 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. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different 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. 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. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will 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.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. 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. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
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're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. That won't happen with my repairs. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
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. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
