Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily 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. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
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. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 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. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. 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. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
1) Give me a call for advice.
2) Let me know what damage has occurred.
3) I’ll provide a free quote and schedule your repair.
