Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. 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. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. Different manufacturers use different materials to produce their shower trays, and even things like exposure to sunlight and chemicals can affect the shade of white it is. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
My repairs are built to last because I use the best professional-grade materials available. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within 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. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
The first step in any shower tray repair is identifying the level of damage. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you 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. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
The majority of shower tray repairs take around 1-2 hours to finish. 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. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap 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. 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. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
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. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
