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. 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. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
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. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
The majority of shower tray repairs take around 1-2 hours to finish. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
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 provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. That won't happen with my repairs. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. 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. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
1) Reach out to discuss your repair options.
2) Inform me of the damage, and I’ll guide you through the next steps.
3) I'll get a quote sent to you and your repair booked in.
