Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. 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. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. 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. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Different manufacturers use different materials to produce their shower trays, and even things like exposure to sunlight and chemicals can affect the shade of white it is. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. 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 have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. 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. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation 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. 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. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
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. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. With shower trays, it can be easy to see marks and imperfections on them, especially if you have a light or window right next to the shower tray. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. 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. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. 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 tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
