Fixing chipped shower tray in Darwen home DIY vs professional shower tray repair Darwen

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 a chip appears in your shower tray, it’s typically caused by something impacting the tray, like an object falling or striking it. Most shower trays are made of acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, which is lightweight and easy to shape, but also brittle. This means it’s vulnerable to chipping or cracking from sharp impacts. Once damaged, it’s essential to repair the tray immediately to prevent further issues. We’re available to help you in Darwen with your shower tray chip repair. Call today for more details and a free quote.

Darwen Shower Tray Chip Repair Expert Process

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 the surface of your shower tray is severely damaged, with many chips, scratches, or overall wear, we recommend resurfacing the entire tray. While this takes a little longer than a chip repair, we can still complete it in a single visit. After resurfacing, your shower tray will look brand new, and we'll fill in cracks and holes as part of the process.

One of the most important steps in the process of repairing chips to a shower tray is colour matching the new enamel paint to match your existing shower tray exactly. This skill takes a lot of experience to perfect, and our technicians achieve this by blending enamel paint with special tinters until it matches your shower tray perfectly. Even though most shower trays are white, there are many shades of white, and factors like the age of the tray, its usage, and any discolouration over time will all affect the shade of white. This is why using standard white enamel paint for repairs is not an option, as it won't match your shower tray.

Unlike DIY Repair Kits, we use only top-quality, professional-grade materials sourced from commercial suppliers. With years of experience in the hard surface repair industry, we know how to ensure each repair is durable and expertly done. DIY Repair Kits use basic materials that won’t last, and their tinters can’t guarantee a precise colour match. Leave your hard surface repairs to the experts!

Sink Chip Repair Procedure step by step:

1. Our team will assess the damage and give 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 then fill in the damage to create that uniform surface again.

4. Next, we apply another layer of bonder on top of the filler to ensure a lasting repair.

5. The technician will now match the enamel paint to your shower tray's surface and apply it using a fine spray gun.

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

7. Your shower tray is good to go now! Ta da!

Is it possible for a shower tray chip repair to be invisible?

Affordable shower tray chip fix Darwen

After a shower tray chip repair, the original damage should generally be undetectable during regular use. But if you shine a flashlight and scrutinize the area, you might still spot the repair. This represents the highest standard of repair. For an invisible repair, resurfacing the entire shower tray would be your best option.

At Surface Doctor Darwen, we take great pride in our work and are committed to delivering long-lasting repairs that ensure your satisfaction. With many years of experience in Darwen, we’ve gained a strong reputation for excellent service and many loyal customers who recommend us. One crucial aspect of our high-standard repairs is achieving a perfect colour match to the original surface, something we’ve mastered over the years. If you’re considering a DIY Repair Kit, be aware that the repair you’ll get won’t come close to our professional standard. DIY kits are only capable of providing temporary repairs, and colour matching is difficult, leading to discolouration. With our professional repairs, you won’t have to worry about any of this—let us take care of it for you so you can relax.

What is the typical duration for this?

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 was in need of a shower tray chip repair and am so happy I chose Surface Doctor Darwen. 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 - Darwen, Lancashire
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 - Darwen, Lancashire
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 - Darwen, Lancashire
I had a chip in my shower tray that was turning brown and looked awful. After your repair, the tray looks as good as new! The technician pointed out the chip was getting damp, so it was great we didn’t delay the repair any longer.
