Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. 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. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. 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. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 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. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 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. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. With shower trays, it can be easy to see marks and imperfections on them, especially if you have a light or window right next to the shower tray. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
