Shower trays vary in size, shape, and material, making each one unique. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. 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. 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. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. 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. 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.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. 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. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless repair. 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. I will then apply another layer of bonder to it. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. 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. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before 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. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. Any damage, such as holes, chips, or cracks, will be carefully filled in. 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. 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. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. 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. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. 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.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. 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.
1) Get in touch for professional guidance.
2) Describe the issue, and I’ll assess how best to fix it.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
