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. These materials, while durable, can suffer damage from impacts, harsh chemicals, or excessive pressure if poorly installed. 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. For trays needing resurfacing, I offer this service too—though it takes a bit longer than a chip repair, the results will make your tray look brand new. For added peace of mind, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all repairs and carry full insurance. This is the most environmentally friendly option too, as you won't have to scrap your old shower tray.
Not all white shower trays are the same—there are subtle variations in shade. The material, manufacturer, and exposure to elements like sunlight and chemicals can all impact a shower tray’s color. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. To achieve a perfect match, I use specialized tinters to mix the right white shade on-site. With years of experience, I have mastered the art of seamless shower tray color matching. Certain chip locations make it difficult to achieve a fully invisible repair, but in regular use, it won’t be noticeable.
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. With my expert materials, your repair will stay intact and maintain its original appearance. I also offer a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. 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.
The first step in any shower tray repair is identifying the level of damage. If the damage is minimal, such as light scratches or a few chips, a spot repair will suffice. 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. 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. On arrival, I will thoroughly clean the damaged area and apply a bonding agent to prepare for the filler. 3. Next, I will fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the shower tray. 4. After filling the damage, I will apply an additional bonder layer for extra strength. 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. After 24 hours, your shower tray is ready to use—good as new without any replacements!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 1-2 hours. Severe damage or full resurfacing may extend the repair time, but I complete most jobs in a single visit. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. 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 ensure premium results by using only high-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. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
Trying a DIY repair first is an option, but I’ll be here when you need professional help. Once the DIY kit fails, I’ll be available to do the job right. The materials these kits provide are no comparison to the materials I use and my expertise in colour matching. Discolouration and peeling are common problems with DIY bath and shower tray repair kits. That won't happen with my repairs. If DIY kits were truly effective, there wouldn’t be a need for professional repair services.
Will my shower tray repair last a long time?
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. If the tray has major structural damage, I often recommend a full replacement over repair. If you still want to have it repaired, I can do this, but I won't offer a guarantee in this instance.
1) Get in touch for professional guidance.
2) Share details of the damage so I can provide the best solution.
3) I'll get a quote sent to you and your repair booked in.
