Shower Tray Crack Repair: Restoring Your Bathroom to Perfection
A cracked shower tray is not only an eyesore but can also lead to water leakage, structural damage, and even mold growth if left untreated. At Prestige, we specialise in professional shower tray crack repair, ensuring your shower is fully restored and watertight. Our expert team uses advanced techniques and high-quality materials to repair cracks of all sizes, making your shower tray look as good as new without the need for a costly replacement.
Why Shower Tray Cracks Happen
Shower trays can crack for several reasons:
- Improper installation: Uneven surfaces or lack of support can lead to stress points, causing the tray to crack over time.
- Heavy impact: Dropping a heavy object, such as a showerhead or shampoo bottle, can cause cracks, chips, or dents.
- Material wear and tear: Over time, acrylic or resin shower trays can become brittle, making them more susceptible to damage.
If left unaddressed, even minor cracks can expand and lead to significant issues. That's why timely repair is essential for the long-term safety and appearance of your bathroom.
Our Shower Tray Crack Repair Process
At Prestige, we follow a meticulous repair process to ensure the most effective and long-lasting results:
1. Initial Inspection: We begin by carefully inspecting the cracked shower tray to assess the extent of the damage. This helps us determine the best repair method.
2. Stabilisation: If your tray is raised from the ground, we support it underneath to prevent further movement. If it’s fixed to the floor, we drill small holes around the crack and inject foam to stabilise the area.
3. Crack Filling: We use a high-quality resin to fill the crack, bonding it securely to prevent future spreading. If needed, we reinforce the repair with a fiberglass mesh and more resin to ensure structural integrity.
4. Blending: After the crack is filled and stabilised, we colour-match the repair with the rest of the tray and respray the area. Our goal is to make the repair invisible to the naked eye, blending seamlessly with the surrounding surface.
5. Final Touches: Once the repair is complete, we smooth the surface and ensure the area is watertight. While a slight edge may be detectable by touch, the repair will be virtually impossible to see.
Benefits of Professional Shower Tray Crack Repair
- Cost-effective: Repairing a cracked shower tray is far more affordable than replacing the entire tray or causing damage to the surrounding area due to leaks.
- Quick and efficient: Our repairs typically take only 2-4 hours, and the tray is fully set within 12-24 hours, depending on room temperature.
- Durable: We use high-quality materials and proven techniques, ensuring your shower tray is structurally sound and built to last.
- Seamless finish: With precise color-matching and careful respraying, the repair will blend perfectly with the rest of the tray, leaving no visible signs of damage.
