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. 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. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. 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. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. 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.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. 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. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. 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. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
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. 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 structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 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. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. 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. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all 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.
