Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. 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. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their 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. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. 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? 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. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. If the whole surface has been damaged or there are more than just a few chips, we would ideally resurface your shower tray to make sure it looks new again. 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. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 5. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision spray gun. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal 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 provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. 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. I've seen reviews for these DIY Repair Kits saying the repairs fell off or discoloured after just a few months. 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.
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. 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. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
