Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. Shower tray resurfacing is an option if needed; while it takes longer than a simple chip repair, the results are stunning, and you can use it again the next day. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
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. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. I have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. 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.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. 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 most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad the damage is. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. 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. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. When I arrive to do the repair, I will first clean the area and apply a layer of bonder to prep for the filler. 3. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 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. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. 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. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. 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. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. That won't happen with my repairs. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
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. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
