There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. 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. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. 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. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily 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. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. 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. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 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.
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. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. 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. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 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. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish 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.
My goal is to ensure that the repair is practically invisible during regular use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
