Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. 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. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. 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. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
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. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. 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.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few 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. 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. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional 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. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
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. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
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. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. 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 refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
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. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
1) Reach out to discuss your repair options.
