Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. 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. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. 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. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. 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. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. 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.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad the damage is. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. If structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 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. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
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.
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 don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
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 materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
