Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. I can repair all types of damage to shower trays in a few hours, which saves you a lot of time and money over replacing it. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. 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. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. 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. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. 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. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision 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. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 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. If the damage is more extensive or the shower tray needs to be resurfaced, this will take longer, but I always aim to have all the damage repaired in just one visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
1) Contact me for quick and reliable advice.
