Have you chipped your shower tray? Do you need an expert repair done on your shower tray? Let us take the stress out of your shower tray chip repair by getting it done quickly and expertly so you can get back on with your day.

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 Fairmilehead with your shower tray chip repair. Call today for more details and a free quote.

Fairmilehead Shower Tray Chip Repair Expert Process

Shower trays are made from various materials and textures, but acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin is a common and durable choice. Unfortunately, these materials are prone to damage due to their brittle nature. Scratches are also a concern, as they can collect moisture and foster the growth of mildew and mould. Promptly repairing any chips, scratches, or cracks helps maintain the waterproof integrity of the surface and prevents further damage.

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.

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!

Step-by-step procedure for sink chip repair:

1. Our team will assess the damage and give you a free quote for the repair.

2. We begin by applying a layer of our specialised bonder to the shower tray to start the repair process.

3. Next, we'll fill in the damage to restore the tray's uniform surface.

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

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

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

Expert Shower Tray Chip Repair in Fairmilehead

Will a shower tray chip repair be invisible?

Shower tray chip repair in Fairmilehead

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.

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 Fairmilehead 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 Fairmilehead. 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 will this repair take?

A small chip repair usually takes 1-2 hours, while more extensive repairs may take up to 3 hours. If you're having your shower tray resurfaced, the process will take about 4-5 hours.

I needed a shower tray chip repair and couldn’t be happier with the choice of Surface Doctor Fairmilehead.

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 - Fairmilehead, City-of-Edinburgh
There’s nothing worse than your plumber chipping your brand new shower tray by resting his tools on it, but unfortunately, it happened to us. We wanted a replacement, but he suggested a chip repair instead. I was so impressed with the result that I can’t even see where the damage was! The repair process was excellent, and it was definitely faster than replacing the tray.
GT - Fairmilehead, City-of-Edinburgh
My shower tray had a nasty chip that was turning brown, but you did an excellent repair and made it look brand new again. The technician mentioned the chip was becoming damp, so it was great we didn’t wait any longer to repair it.
