Shower trays are available in various shapes and materials, each with its own characteristics. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. Despite their durability, shower trays can be damaged by impact, chemical exposure, or structural stress. When this happens, it's important to have the damage repaired straight away before it gets worse. Rather than replacing your shower tray, I can repair it in just a few hours, providing a cost-effective solution. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated otherwise. For those requiring resurfacing, I provide expert services that take slightly longer than chip repairs but restore the shower tray completely. With full insurance and a 12-month guarantee, you can trust my repairs to last. By opting for repair, you’re making a sustainable choice that avoids unnecessary waste.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Over time, exposure to sunlight, cleaning agents, and the materials used in production can slightly change a shower tray’s original shade. Getting the shade right is one of the most vital steps in a successful shower tray repair. 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. While we don’t guarantee an invisible repair, it will blend in so well that you won’t see it during normal use.
I ensure long-lasting repairs by using only premium, professional-grade materials. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. The repair will fall off due to not being adhered properly, or the colour won't be matched properly. Many people report that DIY repairs start to yellow within months. That's the last thing you need after spending the time and money doing it. I use high-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting, non-discoloring repair. Every repair I complete comes with a 12-month warranty for added assurance.
I begin the repair by coating the damaged area with a professional bonder and filling in the imperfections. I then apply a second layer of bonder for maximum adhesion. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. This guarantees a smooth, flawless finish that matches the rest of the shower tray.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. 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. In cases where the damage is structural or has gone through the tray, we need to determine if it can be strengthened before repair. In such instances, a repair may not be advisable, as it may not hold up long-term.
1. I will analyze the damage from images and send you a fixed-price quote for your repair.
2. I start by cleaning the affected area and applying a specialized bonder before filling in the damage. 3. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Once the repair is prepped, I will match the color and blend it seamlessly with a fine spray. 6. Now you need to leave the shower tray for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully harden and cure. 7. Use your shower tray again as normal! A brand new looking shower tray without any of the hassle of replacing it.
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. This process is much faster than ripping out your old shower tray to replace it, and it is much cheaper too!
I work to ensure that the repair is undetectable under normal lighting conditions. Certain lighting conditions, like direct sunlight, can make any marks or repairs easier to spot. 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 refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior 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.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. When the DIY repair doesn’t work out, I’ll be happy to assist. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. 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 DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
What is the lifespan of a shower tray repair?
A properly done shower tray repair will hold up for the lifetime of the tray. 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.
