Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. 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 my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. 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.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. Sometimes the location of the chip in the shower tray makes it very difficult to get an invisible repair, which is why we never say your repair will be invisible, but you shouldn't be able to see it with normal usage.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. 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. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. 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. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. 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. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 3. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 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. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. 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. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
1) Give me a call for advice.
2) Describe the issue, and I’ll assess how best to fix it.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
