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. 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. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. 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. 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. 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.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. 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.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. 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. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
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. Where the damage has actually broken through the shower tray, or is structural, we'll have to decide if the shower tray can be reinforced from underneath before repairing it. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 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. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
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. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. 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. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. 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 still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
