Have you damaged your shower tray? We can fix your chip quickly and expertly, so you can relax and get back to your day without any hassle.

Finding a chip in your shower tray is often due to something impacting the tray, like a heavy object falling on it or hitting it. Shower trays are usually made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin. While these materials are light and easy to shape, they’re brittle, meaning they can crack or chip easily when impacted. It’s important to repair any chips or cracks promptly to avoid further damage. We’re ready to assist with your shower tray chip repair in Gilmerton. Call now for a free quote and more details.

Gilmerton's Expert Process for Repairing Shower Tray Chips

Shower trays are available in different materials, with acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin being a popular, durable option. These materials, however, have a hard but brittle surface, making them susceptible to damage. Scratches on the surface can also collect moisture and lead to mildew and mould. To prevent further issues, it’s important to repair any chips, scratches, or cracks as soon as they appear, ensuring the surface retains its waterproof quality.

For shower trays with extensive damage like multiple chips, scratches, or an overall deteriorated surface, we recommend resurfacing the whole tray. This takes a little more time than a simple chip repair, but we’ll complete the job in one visit. Once resurfaced, your shower tray will look brand new, and we will 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.

Unlike DIY Repair Kits, we use only top-quality, professional-grade materials sourced from commercial suppliers. With years of experience in the hard surface repair industry, we know how to ensure each repair is durable and expertly done. DIY Repair Kits use basic materials that won’t last, and their tinters can’t guarantee a precise colour match. Leave your hard surface repairs to the experts!

How we repair your sink chip, step by step:

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

2. To start the repair, a layer of our specialised bonder will be applied to the shower tray.

3. The damage will then be filled in to create a smooth, even surface.

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. Allow 24 hours for your shower tray repair to dry and cure completely.

7. And just like that, your shower tray is ready for use again!

Shower Tray Chip Repair Gilmerton

Can a shower tray chip repair be completely invisible?

Chipped shower tray restoration Gilmerton

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.

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 Gilmerton, 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 Gilmerton. 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.

What’s the estimated time for this process?

For minor chip repairs, the job takes about 1-2 hours. If there’s more damage, it could take up to 3 hours. Resurfacing a shower tray takes around 4-5 hours to complete.

I needed a shower tray chip repair and couldn’t be happier with the choice of Surface Doctor Gilmerton. 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 - Gilmerton, City-of-Edinburgh
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 - Gilmerton, City-of-Edinburgh
We were so frustrated when our plumber chipped our brand new shower tray by resting his metal tools in it. We wanted him to replace it, but he insisted on giving the chip repair a try. I have to say, I was amazed by the repair—there’s no sign of where the damage was! I’m genuinely impressed with the work and the whole process. It was definitely faster than replacing the entire tray.
GT - Gilmerton, 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.
