There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. If your shower tray needs to be resurfaced, I can do this too; the procedure takes a bit longer than a chip repair, and you'll have a brand-new looking shower tray at the end of it, which you can use again the next day. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. 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. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. 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.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. 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. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
The first step in any shower tray repair is identifying the level of damage. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the 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. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
