Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or 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. 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. 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. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
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. One of the most important parts of doing a shower tray repair is to colour match the new paint for the repair exactly to your existing shower tray. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. 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. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. 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. 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. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 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. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision 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. 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. If the damage is more extensive or the shower tray needs to be resurfaced, this will take longer, but I always aim to have all the damage repaired in just one visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday use. 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. 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. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The materials and methods I use are far superior to those found in DIY kits. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all 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 still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
