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.

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 Chatham. Call now for a free quote and more details.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in Chatham

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.

When the surface of a shower tray has been damaged beyond repair, such as with many chips, scratches, or an overall deteriorated surface, we may recommend resurfacing the entire shower tray. This process takes longer than a chip repair, but we still complete it within one visit. After a shower tray resurfacing, your shower will look like new again. Any damage, such as cracks and holes, will be filled in as part of the procedure.

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.

The key difference between our repairs and DIY Repair Kits is the quality of materials. We use professional grade materials from trusted commercial traders, ensuring a lasting and expert repair every time. DIY Repair Kits, however, contain lower quality materials that will not last. The provided tinters are challenging to match accurately. For the best results, we recommend leaving your hard surface repairs to the professionals!

Sink Chip Repair Procedure step by step:

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

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

3. We’ll proceed by filling in the damage to ensure the surface is uniform once again.

4. A second layer of bonder is applied over the filler to ensure proper adhesion.

5. The enamel paint will now be colour matched to your shower tray’s surface and sprayed on with precision using a fine spray gun.

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

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

Can a shower tray chip repair be seamless and invisible?

DIY vs professional shower tray repair Chatham

When a chip in your shower tray is repaired, it shouldn't be noticeable during regular use. However, a close inspection with a flashlight may reveal the repair, as it is still a repair. This is the best achievable standard. If a completely invisible repair is required, resurfacing the whole tray is a better choice.

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

How long will this repair take?

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 had a small chip in my shower tray and you were able to repair it so expertly that I can't even tell where the chip was now! My shower tray looks brand new again! I'm so pleased with my repair.
JK - Chatham, Kent
We couldn’t believe it when our plumber chipped our brand new shower tray with his tools. We thought about replacing it, but he suggested trying a chip repair. I’m so glad we went with that option! The repair was done expertly, and I can’t even tell where the chip was. We’re thrilled with the result, and it was definitely quicker than having the whole tray replaced.
GT - Chatham, Kent
There was a large, ugly chip in my shower tray that was turning brown. Your repair was fantastic, and now my shower tray looks brand new! The technician said it was good we acted fast, as the chip was getting damp.
