Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. 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? 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. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. 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 only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
The first step in any shower tray repair is identifying the level of damage. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. If the whole surface has been damaged or there are more than just a few chips, we would ideally resurface your shower tray to make sure it looks new again. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 3. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
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. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. 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 don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
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 repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. 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. That won't happen with my repairs. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
