There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. 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. 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. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original 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 do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. 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.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. 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. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
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. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. If structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 3. Any damage, such as holes, chips, or cracks, will be carefully filled in. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision spray gun. 6. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 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 always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. 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. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. That won't happen with my repairs. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
