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. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. 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. 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. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
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 surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
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. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 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!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. 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 a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. 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. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
