Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. Over time, exposure to pressure, impact, and chemicals can lead to damage, especially if installation was not done correctly. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. 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. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months, and I'm fully insured. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
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. 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. 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. Sometimes the location of the chip in the shower tray makes it very difficult to get an invisible repair, which is why we never say your repair will be invisible, but you shouldn't be able to see it with normal usage.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. 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. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 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 it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. 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. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 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. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. While I aim for the best finish possible, no repair is completely invisible, and companies that claim otherwise should be questioned.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. A high-quality repair isn’t possible with subpar materials. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY fix doesn’t hold up, I’m here to provide a proper repair. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. 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!
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
If maintained well, the repair will last as long as the rest of your shower tray. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
