Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. 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. 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.
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. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. 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. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. 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. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. 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. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
The first step in any shower tray repair is identifying the level of damage. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
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'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 5. I will custom-match the color to your shower tray and apply it using a precision spray gun. 6. Allow 24 hours for the repair to fully cure before using your shower tray again. 7. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 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. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. 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.
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. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. 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 DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
