Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
Did you know that shower trays can have different shades of white? Different manufacturers use different materials to produce their shower trays, and even things like exposure to sunlight and chemicals can affect the shade of white it is. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. 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 understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. 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. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive 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. 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 this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. When I arrive to do the repair, I will first clean the area and apply a layer of bonder to prep for the filler. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. 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. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. 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. That won't happen with my repairs. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
