Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. Shower trays are often manufactured from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or fiberglass. 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. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. 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. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am 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. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. 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. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily use.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
The repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. This ensures the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. If the damage has penetrated through the tray or is structural, we must assess whether reinforcement is possible. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 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. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
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. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
I always strive to make shower tray repairs blend seamlessly so they aren’t noticeable in everyday 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. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
I ensure premium results by using only high-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. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. A common complaint with DIY kits is that they fail or change colour shortly after application. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. 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?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. Severe or structural damage might require a full replacement rather than a simple repair. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
