Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. Shower trays are often manufactured 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. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated 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. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm 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. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. 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.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. 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. 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. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. 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. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. 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. When I arrive to do the repair, I will first clean the area and apply a layer of bonder to prep for the filler. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 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. 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. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. 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.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. 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. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
