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. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. 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. 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. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
Did you know that shower trays can have different shades of white? 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. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. 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. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. 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. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. 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 this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 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. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. 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. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. 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.
