Shower trays come in all different shapes and sizes and are made out of different materials. The most common types of shower trays are made from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, and fiberglass. Improper installation, strong chemicals, or accidental impacts can cause damage to any of these materials. Repairing damage early on can save time, money, and further complications. A full replacement isn’t necessary—I can restore your shower tray in just a few hours, saving you time and money. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. If a full resurfacing is required, I can handle that as well—although the process takes a little longer, the end result is a fresh, new-looking tray. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
Most people don’t realize, but shower trays come in a variety of white shades. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. I create a custom color blend on the spot using professional-grade tinters. I have perfected this skill after many years of experience, so I'm able to get a repair that blends in seamlessly. Depending on where the damage is, achieving a completely invisible repair can be challenging, but it should be unnoticeable during everyday use.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. I understand the appeal of DIY repair kits, but their low-quality materials mean the repair is unlikely to last. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. 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? 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 repair process begins with applying a specialized bonder to the damaged area before filling it. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. After preparing the surface, I hand-match the colour and spray the repair with a precision 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. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. If the whole surface has been damaged or there are more than just a few chips, we would ideally resurface your shower tray to make sure it looks new again. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
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. I will then repair any visible damage, ensuring a smooth and even surface. 4. For maximum adhesion, a second layer of bonder will be applied. 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!
The majority of shower tray repairs take around 1-2 hours to finish. Resurfacing or extensive damage may take more time, but I always aim to finish in one visit. You'll be able to use your shower tray again after 24 hours, once the repair fully cures. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. I don’t make false promises about 100% invisibility—any company that does should be approached with caution.
Every repair I complete is made with industry-leading materials for durability. Unlike some, I won’t sacrifice quality just to save costs. If you want a repair that lasts, the quality of materials makes all the difference. The number of repeat clients and referrals I receive speaks to the quality of my work.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. 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. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
Your shower tray repair should remain intact for the duration of the tray’s life. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. I can repair even severe damage, but I won’t offer a guarantee if the structural integrity is compromised.
