Has your shower tray been chipped? Need an expert repair? Let us handle the stress of fixing your shower tray chip quickly and professionally so you can get back to your routine.

A chip in your shower tray typically occurs when something impacts the tray, like a heavy object falling on it or striking it. Shower trays are most commonly made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, materials that are light, easy to shape, but also brittle. This means that hard impacts can cause chipping or cracking. It’s important to repair any damage immediately to avoid worsening the issue. We’re ready to help with your shower tray chip repair in East-Kilbride. Call us now for more information and a free quote.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in East-Kilbride

Shower trays come in a range of materials and textures, but acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin is one of the most common, offering durability. The issue with these materials is their tendency to be brittle, making them prone to chips and scratches. Such surface damage can trap moisture, promoting mildew and mould growth. That’s why it’s essential to repair any chips, scratches, or cracks promptly to keep the surface waterproof and in top condition.

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.

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.

Our repairs differ from DIY Repair Kits because we use only professional grade materials, sourced from specialised commercial suppliers. With years of experience in the hard surface repair industry, we ensure every repair is long-lasting and expertly completed. DIY Repair Kits offer lower quality materials that aren’t as durable, and their tinters are hard to match for a precise colour. Trust the professionals for your hard surface repairs!

The sink chip repair process, step by step:

1. We’ll inspect the damage and provide you with a no-obligation free quote for the repair.

2. We start your repair by applying 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. We then apply another layer of bonder over the filler.

5. Our technician will then colour match the enamel paint to your shower tray and spray it evenly with a fine spray gun.

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

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

Expert Shower Tray Chip Repair in East-Kilbride

Will a shower tray chip repair be invisible?

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.

Our repairs last for many years, and we take great pride in the work we do, ensuring that you’re completely satisfied. We’ve been serving East-Kilbride for many years and have a long list of happy customers who recommend us regularly. A key element of our high-quality repairs is achieving the perfect colour match to the original surface, something we have perfected at Surface Doctor East-Kilbride. Opting for a DIY Repair Kit won’t provide you with the same level of quality. These kits often lead to short-term repairs that discolour over time, and colour matching is difficult. With our professional service, you don’t need to worry about any of this—we’ll handle the entire repair process for you.

How long does it take?

Small chip repairs typically take about 1-2 hours. More extensive damage may take up to 3 hours. If you're opting for shower tray resurfacing, this will take around 4-5 hours to finish.

HN - East-Kilbride, South-Lanarkshire
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 - East-Kilbride, South-Lanarkshire
When our plumber accidentally chipped our brand new shower tray by resting his metal tools in it, we were upset. We initially wanted him to replace it, but he suggested trying a chip repair first. I was absolutely impressed with the repair you did—I can't tell where the damage was anymore! I’m so happy with the results, and it was definitely faster than replacing the entire tray.
GT - East-Kilbride, South-Lanarkshire
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.
