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 Gilmerton. Call now for a free quote and more info.
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. The damage will then be filled in to create a smooth, even surface. 4. Next, we apply another layer of bonder on top of the filler to ensure a lasting repair. 5. Next, our technician will colour match the enamel paint to your shower tray’s surface and carefully spray it on with a fine spray gun. 6. Allow 24 hours for your shower tray repair to dry and cure completely. 7. Ta da! Your shower tray is ready to be used again!
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 Gilmerton, 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 Gilmerton, 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.
How long does it take?
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.
