Have you damaged your shower tray? We can fix your chip quickly and expertly, so you can relax and get back to your day without any hassle.

When you find a chip in your shower tray, it is usually due to something impacting the tray, such as something falling on it or bashing it. Shower trays are typically made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin. This material is lightweight and easy to shape, but it’s also brittle. This means that sharp or hard impacts can cause it to chip or crack. Once the surface is cracked or chipped, it’s crucial to have it repaired immediately to prevent the damage from worsening. We are here to help you in Castlemilk with your shower tray chip repair. Call now for more information and a free quote.

Replacing your shower tray takes considerable time and money, but we can repair your shower tray quickly and affordably, saving you both time and money.

Castlemilk's Expert Process for Repairing Shower Tray Chips

Shower trays come in various materials and textures, with many being made of acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, a combination known for its durability. The downside is that these materials can be prone to damage due to their hard but brittle surface. Scratches are also common and can trap moisture, leading to mildew and mould. Therefore, it’s important to repair chips, scratches, and cracks quickly to restore the surface’s waterproof properties.

If your shower tray has extensive damage, including chips, scratches, or deterioration, we will suggest resurfacing the entire surface. While this procedure takes longer than a chip repair, we ensure it’s done in one visit. After resurfacing, your shower tray will look as good as new, with any cracks or holes filled as part of the service.

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!

Sink Chip Repair Procedure step by step:

1. We'll take a look at the damage and provide you with your free quote to repair it.

2. To begin your repair, we'll apply a layer of our specialised bonder to the shower tray.

3. Afterward, we will fill in the damage to create a seamless, uniform surface.

4. After the filler, we apply an additional layer of bonder for a strong bond.

5. Our technician will now colour match the enamel paint to the surface of your shower tray and spray this on using a fine spray gun.

6. Let your shower tray repair dry and fully cure over the next 24 hours.

7. And just like that, your shower tray is ready for use again!

Castlemilk Shower Tray Chip Repair Services

Will a shower tray chip repair be invisible?

Shower tray repair near me Castlemilk

A shower tray chip repair, once completed, should not be noticeable with normal use. However, if you shine a light and closely inspect it, you might see some evidence of the repair. This is the best repair standard available. If you're looking for a truly invisible repair, resurfacing the whole shower tray might be a better solution.

We pride ourselves on offering repairs that last for many years, and we are committed to ensuring you’re completely satisfied. Our reputation in Castlemilk 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 Castlemilk. 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?

A small chip repair will only take about 1-2 hours to complete. For more chips or damage, it could take up to 3 hours. If you're having a shower tray resurfacing, this will take about 4-5 hours to complete.

I was in need of a shower tray chip repair and am so happy I chose Surface Doctor Castlemilk. The service was professional from the start to finish, and I received helpful aftercare advice I will definitely use! Thank you for your amazing service.
HN - Castlemilk, Glasgow-City
I had a small chip in my shower tray, but after your expert repair, I can't even tell where it was! My shower tray looks brand new again! I’m so happy with the results.
JK - Castlemilk, Glasgow-City
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 - Castlemilk, Glasgow-City
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.
