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. If damage occurs, acting quickly can prevent the issue from worsening. 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. For your confidence, I offer a 12-month guarantee on all shower tray repairs. 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. Repairing instead of replacing your shower tray is the greener, more eco-friendly choice.
You may not have noticed, but there are many different shades of white when it comes to shower trays. Manufacturers use various materials to create shower trays, and over time, factors like sunlight and cleaning products can alter their shade. For a seamless repair, precise color matching is essential to blend with your existing shower tray. I do this using special tinters on the day to make up a white colour that matches from scratch. After years of perfecting this technique, I can achieve a color match that blends effortlessly. Sometimes the location of the chip in the shower tray makes it very difficult to get an invisible repair, which is why we never say your repair will be invisible, but you shouldn't be able to see it with normal usage.
To guarantee durability, I use only top-quality professional-grade materials in all my repairs. Many people try DIY repair kits to save money, but the poor-quality materials mean the repair won’t hold up. Poor adhesion and incorrect colour matching are common issues with DIY kits. 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. For extra peace of mind, I back my work with a 12-month guarantee.
To start the shower tray repair, I first apply a strong bonding agent and fill in the damaged section. To enhance durability, I apply an additional layer of bonding agent. I then carefully match the paint to your shower tray’s shade and apply it evenly with a fine mist sprayer. 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. For minor surface damage, such as chips or scratches, a spot repair is the most effective solution. If the surface wear is significant, or if multiple areas are damaged, resurfacing is the optimal solution. When the damage compromises the integrity of the shower tray, reinforcement must be considered before proceeding with repairs. Should the damage be too severe to reinforce, we may advise against repair due to longevity concerns.
1. Send me pictures of the damage, and I will evaluate it and give you a free quote.
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. The next step is to apply another layer of bonder to the area. 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. Once cured, your shower tray will look brand new and be ready for regular use!
Most shower tray repairs are quick, usually done within 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. You can safely use your shower tray again in just 24 hours after the repair. Compared to replacing the entire shower tray, this method is quicker and far more cost-effective!
Each repair is done with precision so that it won’t stand out during normal use. Light reflections can highlight imperfections on shower trays, particularly if a window is nearby. A completely invisible repair isn’t always possible, and I’d advise skepticism toward any company that guarantees it.
I work exclusively with top-tier, professional-grade materials. I refuse to cut corners by using low-cost, inferior materials. To achieve an exceptional repair, only premium materials should be used. My satisfied customers frequently recommend my services because of the quality of my work.
Some people try DIY repair kits before calling me, and that's completely fine. 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. Reviews often mention that DIY repairs don’t last long and start looking bad quickly. You won’t have to worry about peeling, cracking, or fading with my work. If DIY kits were that great, I wouldn’t have so many customers needing proper repairs.
How durable is a shower tray repair?
A shower tray repair should last for as long as the tray itself. While I don’t set a specific lifespan for repairs, I back them with a 12-month warranty. For cases where the damage is too extensive or affects the structure, a replacement may be the better option. Should you opt for a repair despite the damage, I’ll proceed, though I won’t be able to guarantee it.
