Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. 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. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. 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.
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. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. 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.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. 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.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive 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 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. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. 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. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
