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.

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 Easterhouse 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.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in Easterhouse

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.

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.

A critical part of repairing chips in a shower tray is colour matching the new enamel to your existing tray. This requires a lot of experience, and our technicians blend enamel paint with special tinters until it matches your tray perfectly. While most shower trays come in white, there are numerous shades of white, influenced by factors such as the age, usage, and discolouration of your tray. This is why you can never rely on standard white enamel paint for repairs, as it will not match your tray.

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

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

6. Give your shower tray repair 24 hours to dry and fully cure.

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

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

Bathroom shower tray chip damage repair Easterhouse

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.

At Surface Doctor Easterhouse, 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 Easterhouse, 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’s the estimated time for this process?

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.

I was in need of a shower tray chip repair and am so happy I chose Surface Doctor Easterhouse. 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 - Easterhouse, Glasgow-City
You repaired a small chip in my shower tray so well that I can’t even tell where it was anymore! Now my shower tray looks brand new! I’m thrilled with the repair.
JK - Easterhouse, Glasgow-City
There is nothing worse than your plumber chipping your brand new shower tray by resting his metal tools in there, but unfortunately, it happened to us. We wanted him to replace it, but he insisted on trying a chip repair first. I have to say, I was so impressed with the repair you did that I can’t even tell where the damage was or what it looked like. I’m genuinely impressed by the repair and happy with the process. It was definitely much quicker than replacing the whole tray.
GT - Easterhouse, Glasgow-City
I had a very ugly chip in my shower tray which was turning a bit brown. You did a really good repair on it and totally made my shower tray look nice and new again. The technician said the chip was getting very damp, so it was good we didn't leave it any longer to get repaired.
