There are many types of shower trays, differing in size, design, and materials. These trays are typically made from acrylic, stone resin, fiberglass, or ceramic. 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. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. Quick, efficient repairs allow me to restore your shower tray within hours, eliminating the need for expensive replacements. All my work is backed by a full 12-month warranty, unless stated 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. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste, making it the best option for the environment.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. A key aspect of shower tray repair is ensuring the new paint perfectly matches the original color. 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. Some repairs are more difficult to conceal due to their placement, but they will be virtually undetectable in daily use.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. DIY repair kits may seem like a cheaper alternative, but they use low-grade materials that won’t stand the test of time. Without professional-grade adhesion and custom colour matching, DIY repairs tend to fail quickly. 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. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. You can trust my repairs, as they all come with a full 12-month warranty.
The first step for a shower tray repair is to apply a special bonder to the area and then fill in the damage. Next, I reinforce the area by adding another layer of bonder. Then I will colour match a paint to your shower tray by eye and spray this over the repair using a fine spray gun. The result is a seamless blend that makes the repair virtually unnoticeable.
Assessing the extent of the damage is the first and most crucial step in shower tray repair. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. 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. If this is the case, we most likely won't recommend attempting to repair it as the repair may not last.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
2. When I arrive to do the repair, I will first clean the area and apply a layer of bonder to prep for the filler. 3. I'll then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I then apply another layer of bonding agent to ensure long-lasting results. 5. Using my expertise, I will mix the perfect shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 6. You must wait a full day before using your shower tray to ensure the repair sets properly. 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. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. Once I complete the repair, you'll be able to use your shower tray again 24 hours later. A repair is not only more affordable than replacement, but it’s also significantly quicker!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. Shower trays, especially in well-lit areas, can make minor imperfections more visible. I provide high-quality repairs, but no repair is completely invisible—be cautious of companies that claim otherwise.
I only use the best quality professional-grade materials. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. You won't achieve a high standard of repair using cheap materials. Customers trust my repairs and often refer me to others due to their excellent experiences.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. You won’t get the same durability or colour match from a DIY kit as you will from my repair. Many DIY repair kit users report that the fix falls off or discolours within months. When I do the repair, you can trust that it will last. 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 shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. Every repair comes with a 12-month warranty, though repairs are designed to last much longer. If the damage is severe or structural, I typically advise replacing the shower tray rather than repairing it. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
