There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. Most shower trays on the market are constructed from acrylic, stone resin, ceramic, or 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. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. All of my repairs are guaranteed for 12 months unless otherwise stated. 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. 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.
Did you know that shower trays can have different shades of white? The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. Accurate color matching is crucial to making the repair blend naturally with the rest of the shower tray. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. Through extensive experience, I’ve developed the skill to create near-invisible repairs. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
I only use the highest quality professional-grade materials available to ensure that all of my repairs are lasting. DIY repair kits are becoming more common, but they don’t provide the durability needed for a long-lasting fix. These kits often fail because they don’t bond properly or offer accurate colour matching. I have seen reviews where DIY kit repairs have started to yellow after just a few months. It’s frustrating to invest time and money in a repair only for it to deteriorate. By using professional-grade materials, I ensure that your repair remains durable and free from discoloration. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
The first step in repairing a shower tray is applying a bonding solution before carefully filling in the damage. 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. For isolated damage, like a couple of chips or surface marks, a quick spot repair is ideal. When there is widespread damage or excessive chipping, a full resurfacing will provide the best results. For cracks or structural issues, reinforcement from beneath may be necessary before attempting a repair. If reinforcement isn’t a viable option, we typically recommend replacement instead of repair.
1. I will assess the damage to your shower tray from pictures you send in and provide you with a free quote.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 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. 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 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. Repairing instead of replacing saves both time and money, making it a hassle-free solution.
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. If your shower tray is placed near a window, light exposure may make even small repairs more noticeable. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
My repairs are done using only the highest quality materials available. I never use cheaper materials to try and save money. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
If you want to attempt a DIY repair first, you're more than welcome to give it a go. I will be happy to help when that repair fails. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. With my professional repair, you won’t experience these issues. There’s a reason professional repair services exist—because DIY kits don’t offer lasting results.
How long will a shower tray repair last?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. I stand by my work and offer a 12-month warranty on all shower tray repairs. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
