If you’ve chipped your shower tray and need a repair, let us take care of it quickly and expertly, so you can get back to your day with no stress.

A chip in your shower tray is usually the result of an impact, such as something falling onto it or bashing it. Shower trays are commonly made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, materials that are light and easy to shape but prone to brittleness. This makes them susceptible to chips or cracks from sharp impacts. Once the surface is damaged, it’s vital to repair it right away to prevent further damage. We are ready to assist you with your shower tray chip repair in Folkestone. Call now for a free quote and more info.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in Folkestone

Shower trays come in a variety of materials and textures. Most are made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, which is a durable combination. However, these materials are prone to damage due to their hard yet brittle surface. The surface is also susceptible to scratches, which can collect moisture and attract mildew and mould. This is why it is crucial to repair chips, scratches, and cracks as soon as possible to restore the surface to its waterproof original 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.

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 difference between our repairs and DIY Repair Kits is that all of the materials we use are professional grade materials, only available from specialised commercial traders. After years of experience in the hard surface repair industry, we’ve sourced the highest quality materials, ensuring a lasting and expert repair every time. DIY Repair Kits, on the other hand, use average quality materials that won’t last. The tinters provided are difficult to get an accurate colour match with. We highly recommend leaving your hard surface repair needs to the professionals!

The sink chip repair process, step by step:

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

2. The first step in your repair is applying 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 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. Ta da! Your shower tray is ready to be used again!

Will a shower tray chip repair be invisible?

Local shower tray repair specialist Folkestone

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.

We take great pride in our repairs, ensuring they last for years. We want to make sure you're completely satisfied with your repair. With many years of experience in Folkestone, we’ve earned a loyal customer base who continues to recommend us. A key part of our repair process is achieving a perfect colour match, something we’ve perfected here at Surface Doctor Folkestone. Choosing a DIY Repair Kit is not recommended, as the repair quality will be far lower than what we provide. These kits only last a few months at best, and the colour match is often difficult to achieve, leading to potential discolouration. When you choose us, you won’t have to worry about these issues. We manage the entire repair process, leaving you with a flawless finish.

How long does it take?

A small chip repair will only take about 1-2 hours to complete. For more chips or damage, it could take up to 3 hours. If you're having a shower tray resurfacing, this will take about 4-5 hours to complete.

I needed a shower tray chip repair and couldn’t be happier with the choice of Surface Doctor Folkestone. The service was highly professional from the initial call right through to the repair completion. I also received valuable aftercare advice that I plan to follow! Thanks for the excellent service.
HN - Folkestone, Kent
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 - Folkestone, Kent
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 - Folkestone, 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.
