Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and 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. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. 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 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. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. 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. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. By using advanced tinting techniques, I ensure the new paint blends flawlessly with your shower tray. My expertise in color-matching ensures that your repair integrates smoothly with the original surface. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. I have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. The last thing you want is a repair that turns yellow after a short period. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. To give you confidence in my work, I provide a full 12-month guarantee.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. This process allows the repair to integrate smoothly with the rest of the shower tray.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad the damage is. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. 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. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 4. I will reinforce the repair by adding another coat of bonder. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 7. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
On average, shower tray repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. If resurfacing is needed, it can take a bit longer, but my goal is to finish the repair in one trip. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. 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.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. Using cheaper materials results in poor repairs, which is why I always opt for quality. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. I have a long track record of happy customers who value my top-quality repair work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. 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?
Once repaired, your shower tray should last as long as its original lifespan. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
