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. 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. I can repair all types of damage to shower trays in a few hours, which saves you a lot of time and money over replacing it. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty unless specified otherwise. Shower tray resurfacing is an option if needed; while it takes longer than a simple chip repair, the results are stunning, and you can use it again the next day. Every repair I do is covered by a 12-month warranty, and I am fully insured. 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. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. I custom-mix the exact shade needed using professional tinters on the day of repair. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. 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. I have seen DIY repair kits growing in popularity as people try to save money, but ultimately, the DIY repair won't last as the materials they come with are very basic quality. A DIY repair may not stick properly, and the colour will rarely match the original surface. DIY repairs frequently discolor after just a few months, making the problem even worse. No one wants to waste time and money on a repair that doesn’t last. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. 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. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. By using this technique, the repaired area will look natural and blend effortlessly.
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. 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. 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. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. You can send in photos of your shower tray, and I’ll assess the damage and provide a free estimate.
2. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 3. At this stage, I will meticulously fill all chips, cracks, and holes in the tray. 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. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
Typically, shower tray repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. 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. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
The standard I always aim for is a shower tray repair that is not noticeable with normal usage. 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.
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. I have many very happy customers who continue to recommend me because they were so happy with their repairs.
If you're considering a DIY Repair Kit, feel free to test it out first. If the DIY repair doesn’t last, I’ll be here to fix it professionally. DIY kits lack the professional-grade materials and expert colour-matching that I provide. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. 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.
How long can I expect my shower tray repair to hold up?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. I don't put a time limit on our repairs, but I do provide a 12-month warranty with all of our repairs. Sometimes the damage will be very extensive or structural, and in this case, we will usually recommend getting the shower tray replaced instead of repaired. You can still choose to repair it, but in such cases, I cannot provide a guarantee.
