Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. 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. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. 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.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. 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. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. A second coat of bonder is applied to ensure the repair holds strong. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
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. For more extensive damage or multiple chips, resurfacing is the best way to restore the shower tray’s appearance. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you 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. 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. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. Enjoy your refreshed shower tray without the cost or hassle of a full replacement!
Most of our shower tray repairs will take about 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar 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. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. 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. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. 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?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
1) Contact me for quick and reliable advice.
2) Inform me of the damage, and I’ll guide you through the next steps.
3) I'll get a quote sent to you and your repair booked in.
