Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. 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. 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. 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.
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. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. 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. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. 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 for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. 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 ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
The first step in any shower tray repair is identifying the level of damage. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
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'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
The majority of shower tray repairs take around 1-2 hours to finish. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. 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. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. 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. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. 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.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
1) Give me a call for advice.
