Every shower tray is different, with variations in material, shape, and dimensions. Acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass are the most commonly used materials for shower trays. 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. Addressing damage as soon as possible ensures it doesn’t escalate into a bigger problem. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. 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. 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. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. 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. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. 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. After putting in the effort, the last thing you want is for the repair to fail. The professional materials I use ensure that the repair will last and won't discolour. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. 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.
Before proceeding with a repair, it’s essential to evaluate how extensive the damage is. Small chips and scratches can typically be fixed with a localized spot repair. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. 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. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. To begin the repair, I will cleanse the area and apply a strong bonding layer to ensure durability. 3. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 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!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. For more significant damage or resurfacing, the process takes longer, but I strive to complete everything in one visit. After the repair is done, you just need to wait 24 hours before using your shower tray. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. 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. I don’t compromise on quality by using budget materials. Low-quality materials can’t produce a long-lasting, seamless repair. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
If you think you can do your repair with a DIY Repair Kit instead, then you're welcome to try this out. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. The quality of materials in DIY kits is far inferior to what I use, especially in colour-matching. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. If the DIY Repair Kits worked so well, then I wouldn't be in business anymore!
How long will a shower tray repair last?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. For added peace of mind, I provide a full 12-month guarantee on all repairs. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. If you prefer to go ahead with the repair, I can do it, but without a warranty.
1) Give me a call for advice.
2) Let me know what damage has occurred.
3) Expect a transparent quote, and we’ll set up your repair appointment.
