Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. Most shower trays on the market are constructed 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. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. 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. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
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. One of the most important parts of doing a shower tray repair is to colour match the new paint for the repair exactly to your existing shower tray. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. 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. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. 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. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. 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. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
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 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. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. That won't happen with my repairs. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long will a shower tray repair last?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
1) Get in touch for professional guidance.
2) Let me know what damage has occurred.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
