Shower trays come in a variety of materials and textures. Most are made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, which is a durable combination. However, these materials are prone to damage due to their hard yet brittle surface. The surface is also susceptible to scratches, which can collect moisture and attract mildew and mould. This is why it is crucial to repair chips, scratches, and cracks as soon as possible to restore the surface to its waterproof original condition.

For shower trays with extensive damage like multiple chips, scratches, or an overall deteriorated surface, we recommend resurfacing the whole tray. This takes a little more time than a simple chip repair, but we’ll complete the job in one visit. Once resurfaced, your shower tray will look brand new, and we will fill in cracks and holes during the process.

Colour matching is one of the most important steps in repairing chips to a shower tray. Our technicians blend enamel paint with special tinters to perfectly match your tray’s original shade. Since most shower trays are white, but there are many shades of white, factors such as the age of your tray, its use, and any discolouration over time will affect the colour. This is why you can’t use regular white enamel paint for repairs, as it won’t match your tray’s colour.

When it comes to hard surface repairs, the materials we use are of professional grade and sourced from specialised commercial traders. This ensures that your repair will last and be expertly done every time. DIY Repair Kits, however, often use average quality materials that won’t stand the test of time, and their tinters make colour matching difficult. For reliable repairs, we recommend leaving it to the professionals!
