Typical Shower Tray Damage Typically Fall Into 2 Categories
- Chipped Shower Tray
- Cracked Shower Tray
Cracked Shower Trays, However, Can Have Separate Issues.
First, a shower tray can simply have a crack. Most of the time, the cracks just appear. It’s neither the fault of the installer, the customer, or the manufacturer. The conclusion we have come to is that it is caused by transit damage. See our gallery for the types of cracks we’ve repaired. The second type of crack damage is caused by flexing. The trays must absolutely be installed on a solid base. Raising the shower tray using manufacturer-approved legs won’t work. It will crack. The tray is far too brittle. Give it enough pressure on an unsupported section, and it will crack.
We advise customers and installers to fix a lattice frame to gain height. Then fix a solid ply board on top of which the tray is then placed on top of. More often than not, these types of repairs require more than one visit to complete. They are time-consuming and require attention to detail to return the tray to a new condition with long life. Again see our gallery for how were able to assist you in these circumstances. Chipped shower trays. These are straightforward repairs that can be completed in under 2 hours.

Shower Tray Repairs
Shower tray repairs are straightforward forward however can be time-consuming. Read on to understand why. There are four types of shower trays that we have experienced. Pressed steel – which is identical to a pressed steel bath in the appearance manufacturing process and suffers the same damage. The only damage we have repaired so far on enamel shower trays is chipped. These are straightforward and are repaired in exactly the process as enamel baths. Please read our enamel bath repair section, which details why you should only use bathrepairuk.com for shower tray repair.
The second type, which is quite rare, is plastic and polystyrene composite. We believe these came to the market because of internet purchases and a lack of knowledge of these trays’ poor quality. Avoid them at all costs. One of the repairs we were asked to carry on one of these trays was rejected as it was too weak for any effective repair to be carried out on it. Fortunately, we have only come across these types of trays twice.
The most surprising type of shower tray we repaired was an acrylic and MDF composite. See our gallery on how we repaired this one. Shhh…… we had to use Portland cement as part of the repair!!!! It was that complex and challenging.
By far, the most common type of shower tray is the Stone resin acrylic cap composite shower tray. The design of these trays is brilliant in terms of longevity. The main structure comes from a hard stone resin composite. The top of which has a fused layer of an acrylic coating. We have refurbished these types of trays that were installed sometime during the 1980s!! I believe these were luxury items back then but are now commonplace.
The main drawback with types of trays is if the stone resin sustains damage. The damage is often not visible as the acrylic cap hides the crack. It’s not until after installation or a small amount of use that the crack appears much.
