Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. 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. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. 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. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
Did you know that shower trays can have different shades of white? A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
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. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. 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.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. 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. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. Any damage, such as holes, chips, or cracks, will be carefully filled in. 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. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
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 can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. 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?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. 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. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
