There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, giving you peace of mind. If your shower tray needs to be resurfaced, I can do this too; the procedure takes a bit longer than a chip repair, and you'll have a brand-new looking shower tray at the end of it, which you can use again the next day. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different 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. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. 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.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. Any damage, such as holes, chips, or cracks, will be carefully filled in. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. I will hand-mix the enamel color and spray it precisely to blend with your shower tray. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
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. 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. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. 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. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. 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. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
