Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. Unfortunately, all of these materials are prone to damage caused by impacts, strong chemicals, and even too much pressure if they have not been installed correctly. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. 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. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily use.
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. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. 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.
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. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
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. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
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. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 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. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. If the damage is more extensive or the shower tray needs to be resurfaced, this will take longer, but I always aim to have all the damage repaired in just 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.
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. 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. 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 don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. That won't happen with my repairs. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
