Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. 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.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the 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. 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. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
The first step in any shower tray repair is identifying the level of damage. 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 reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
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. 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. 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. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. 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. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our 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.
