Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. Most shower trays on the market are constructed 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. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. 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. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. 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? Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
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. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. 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. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. 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. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
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. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 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. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. That won't happen with my repairs. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
