Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. I can repair all types of damage to shower trays in a few hours, which saves you a lot of time and money over replacing it. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. 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. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. 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.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
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. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. Where the damage has actually broken through the shower tray, or is structural, we'll have to decide if the shower tray can be reinforced from underneath before repairing it. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
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. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 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. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
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. 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. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. 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.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. 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 still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
