Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. 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. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. 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. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. 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. 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. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday 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. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. 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. 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. 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. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 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. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. If the damage is more extensive or the shower tray needs to be resurfaced, this will take longer, but I always aim to have all the damage repaired in just one visit. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. With shower trays, it can be easy to see marks and imperfections on them, especially if you have a light or window right next to the shower tray. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.

3) I'll get a quote sent to you and your repair booked in.
