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. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. If your shower tray needs to be resurfaced, I can do this too; the procedure takes a bit longer than a chip repair, and you'll have a brand-new looking shower tray at the end of it, which you can use again the next day. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance coverage. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
White might seem standard, but shower trays actually come in many different shades. A shower tray’s shade of white is influenced by its material, manufacturer, and even external factors like light and chemicals. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. 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. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. Unlike DIY kits, my professional materials provide a lasting, flawless 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 will then apply another layer of bonder to it. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision spray gun. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
The key factor in repairing a shower tray is determining the severity of the damage. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
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. 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. Next, I'll colour match the paint to your shower tray and spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Once the repair is done, let it cure for a day before resuming normal use. 7. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
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. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. I could never promise that your repair will be 100% invisible, and I would be wary of companies that do promise this.
I ensure premium results by using only high-quality, professional-grade materials. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. 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. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. 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?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
