Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. 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. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily use.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad the damage is. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
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. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
