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. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. 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. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. I have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. 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. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. 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. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 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. 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. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. 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. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. 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 want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially 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 the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. 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. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
