Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration and maintain the tray’s integrity. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. 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. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. Resurfacing or repairing your shower tray is an eco-conscious solution that extends its lifespan.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. 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. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. 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.
Every repair I do is made to last, thanks to the highest quality materials I use. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. Why risk wasting money on a short-term fix when a professional repair will last? By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. 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. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. To ensure a perfect blend, I mix a custom-matched paint and spray it over the repair using a professional spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
The most important thing to ascertain with a shower tray repair is how bad the damage is. If it is just localised surface damage like a few chips or scratches, then a spot repair is the best way forward. A shower tray with multiple chips or surface damage is best restored through full resurfacing. Where the damage has actually broken through the shower tray, or is structural, we'll have to decide if the shower tray can be reinforced from underneath before repairing it. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. The first step after arrival is cleaning the damage and applying a professional-grade bonder. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 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. A fresh-looking, restored shower tray—no need for a costly and messy replacement!
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. If the damage is more extensive or the shower tray needs to be resurfaced, this will take longer, but I always aim to have all the damage repaired in just one visit. The repaired shower tray will be ready for use after a 24-hour curing period. Choosing repair over replacement avoids unnecessary demolition and costs while being much faster.
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 provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
I work exclusively with top-tier, 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're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. 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. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. That won't happen with my repairs. The fact that I’m still in business proves that DIY kits don’t provide long-term solutions.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. 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. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
