Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
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. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. 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 ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. 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. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within 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. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. Once the area is prepped, I custom-mix a paint to match your shower tray and apply it using a fine spray gun. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
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. 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. 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 this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I’ll review the damage from the photos you provide and offer a no-obligation quote.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 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. 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. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. 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. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
