Have you chipped your shower tray? Do you need an expert repair done on your shower tray? Let us take the stress out of your shower tray chip repair by getting it done quickly and expertly so you can get back on with your day.

Finding a chip in your shower tray is often due to something impacting the tray, like a heavy object falling on it or hitting it. Shower trays are usually made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin. While these materials are light and easy to shape, they’re brittle, meaning they can crack or chip easily when impacted. It’s important to repair any chips or cracks promptly to avoid further damage. We’re ready to assist with your shower tray chip repair in Broadstairs. Call now for a free quote and more details.

For years, we’ve been repairing shower trays in and around Broadstairs, and you can count on receiving excellent service from us.

Replacing your shower tray is a time-consuming and costly process, but with our expert repair service, we can get it fixed in no time, saving you time and money.

Expert Process for Shower Tray Chip Repair in Broadstairs

Shower trays are available in different materials, with acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin being a popular, durable option. These materials, however, have a hard but brittle surface, making them susceptible to damage. Scratches on the surface can also collect moisture and lead to mildew and mould. To prevent further issues, it’s important to repair any chips, scratches, or cracks as soon as they appear, ensuring the surface retains its waterproof quality.

When a shower tray is damaged beyond repair, with numerous chips, scratches, or significant wear, we will recommend resurfacing the entire tray. This procedure takes a bit longer than a chip repair but can still be completed in one visit. Resurfacing restores your shower tray to a brand-new condition, and we’ll fill in cracks and holes during the process.

Matching the new enamel to your shower tray’s existing colour is a vital step in chip repair. Our technicians carefully blend enamel paint with special tinters until it matches your shower tray’s exact shade. Even though most trays are white, different factors like age, usage, and discolouration over time will change the shade. Standard white enamel paint won’t work for repairs, as it will not match your tray’s specific colour.

The difference between our repairs and DIY Repair Kits is that all of the materials we use are professional grade materials, only available from specialised commercial traders. After years of experience in the hard surface repair industry, we’ve sourced the highest quality materials, ensuring a lasting and expert repair every time. DIY Repair Kits, on the other hand, use average quality materials that won’t last. The tinters provided are difficult to get an accurate colour match with. We highly recommend leaving your hard surface repair needs to the professionals!

Step-by-step procedure for sink chip repair:

1. Our technicians will evaluate the damage and offer you a free quote for the repair.

2. To start the repair, a layer of our specialised bonder will be applied to the shower tray.

3. The damage will then be filled in to create a smooth, even surface.

4. Another layer of bonder is applied on top of the filler.

5. Next, our technician will colour match the enamel paint to your shower tray’s surface and carefully spray it on with a fine spray gun.

6. Allow the repair to dry and fully cure on your shower tray for the next 24 hours.

7. Ta da! Your shower tray is ready to be used again!

Shower Tray Chip Repair Broadstairs

Can a shower tray chip repair be completely invisible?

Restore shower tray surface in Broadstairs

Following a shower tray chip repair, the original damage should be virtually unnoticeable under normal use. Yet, if you shine a torch and inspect closely, you may still detect the repair. This is the best possible repair standard. For a perfectly invisible repair, resurfacing the entire shower tray would be ideal.

We pride ourselves on offering repairs that last for many years, and we are committed to ensuring you’re completely satisfied. Our reputation in Broadstairs is built on years of happy customers who continue to recommend our services. One key factor in our high-quality repairs is our ability to perfectly match the original surface, something we’ve perfected here at Surface Doctor Broadstairs. If you opt for a DIY Repair Kit, be prepared for subpar results. These kits can’t provide a repair that will last long, and they struggle with colour matching, often leading to discolouration. With our professional repair service, we take care of everything, giving you peace of mind and a job well done.

What’s the estimated time for this process?

Repairing a small chip generally takes about 1-2 hours, while more significant damage may take up to 3 hours. Shower tray resurfacing, however, typically requires 4-5 hours to complete.

I needed a shower tray chip repair and I'm so glad I chose Surface Doctor Broadstairs to do it. Very professional service from the moment I called up through to my shower tray being repaired. I was also given aftercare advice which I will definitely stick to! Thank you for the great service.
HN - Broadstairs, Kent
There was a small chip in my shower tray, but after your expert repair, it’s impossible to see where it was! My shower tray looks like new again! I’m really pleased with the repair.
JK - Broadstairs, Kent
We were so frustrated when our plumber chipped our brand new shower tray by resting his metal tools in it. We wanted him to replace it, but he insisted on giving the chip repair a try. I have to say, I was amazed by the repair—there’s no sign of where the damage was! I’m genuinely impressed with the work and the whole process. It was definitely faster than replacing the entire tray.
GT - Broadstairs, Kent
The chip in my shower tray had turned brown and looked terrible. Your repair made it look as good as new! The technician said it was important we didn’t wait, as the chip was getting damp.
