Can a Cracked Shower Tray Be Repaired?
A cracked shower tray can often be professionally repaired without the need for full replacement. In many cases, this is the simpler and more cost-effective option when the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the tray is still in good condition.
We repair many common types of shower tray cracks, including damage around the waste, corner cracks and cracks caused by movement or poor support underneath the tray. These problems can get worse over time, so it is usually best to deal with them before the damage spreads.
Replacing a shower tray is often more disruptive than people expect. It can involve disturbing the enclosure, sealant and surrounding areas, which is why repair is often the better option when the crack is localised.
How do we repair a cracked shower tray?
Thorough Inspection
The first step in any shower tray repair is a careful inspection to identify all visible and hidden cracks. What appears to be a minor crack can often be part of a wider network of fractures that are not immediately obvious.
Surface Preparation
Once the damage has been identified, the shower tray is thoroughly cleaned to remove soap residue, grime and debris. The surface is then lightly roughened to ensure strong adhesion for the repair materials.
Crack Repair and Reinforcement
We carefully open the cracks to create a V-shaped groove, allowing the resin to bond securely. The resin fills the damaged area and bonds the separated sections together. To further strengthen the repair, the area is reinforced with durable fibreglass material.
Sanding and Smoothing
After the resin has fully cured, the surface is sanded smooth. A fine filler is then applied to remove any remaining imperfections and sanded again to achieve a seamless finish.
Colour Matching and Spraying
We carry out precise colour matching by mixing pigments to match the original shade of your shower tray. Once the correct tone is achieved, the repaired area is professionally spray-painted to blend naturally with the rest of the surface.
Ensuring Proper Support
In many cases, addressing the support beneath the shower tray is essential for a long-lasting repair.
If the tray is raised and has a removable side panel, we can build a strong support system using adjustable legs and plywood.
For trays that sit flat to the floor and show movement due to poor support, we may drill small access holes and inject expanding foam beneath the tray. This method carries some risk and is used only when no better option is available, but it can provide the stability required for a successful repair.
Final Inspection
The final step is a full inspection to ensure the repair is smooth, strong and fully functional. This thorough approach ensures your shower tray not only looks good but is also reinforced for long-term use.
Materials We Work With
We repair most types of shower trays, including acrylic, stone resin and fibreglass, as well as chips in enamel-coated steel trays. Each material requires a slightly different approach, which is why professional assessment is essential for a durable result.
