There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. Shower trays are often manufactured 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. 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. 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.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. 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.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
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 will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision spray gun. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
The majority of shower tray repairs take around 1-2 hours to finish. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
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. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. 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?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. 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. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
