Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. 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. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. I specialize in shower tray repairs that are completed in just a few hours, saving you from costly replacements. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. 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. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
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. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. 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. 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. 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. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
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. 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. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
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. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. For best results, leave the tray untouched for 24 hours while the repair solidifies. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. 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 don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. 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. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. 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. I ensure that my repairs remain durable and maintain their colour. 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. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
