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. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done 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. 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. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. A common complaint with DIY kits is that the repair turns yellow over time. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. 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 process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. 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 structural reinforcement isn't possible, we generally do not recommend repair as it may not be durable.
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. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
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. 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. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. 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.
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. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
