Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. 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. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
Did you know that shower trays can have different shades of white? Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. 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. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily use.
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. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. 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. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
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. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad the damage is. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. If structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
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. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 7. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. 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.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. 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. 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. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
