Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Unfortunately, all of these materials are prone to damage caused by impacts, strong chemicals, and even too much pressure if they have not been installed correctly. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. 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. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
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 create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. 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. 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. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. 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.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. 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 will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
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. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
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. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. 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?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
