Chipped your shower tray? Need a professional repair? Let us take the stress out of your shower tray chip repair by handling it swiftly and expertly so you can continue 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 Gorgie with your shower tray chip repair. Call today for more details and a free quote.

Expert Process for Shower Tray Chip Repair in Gorgie

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 the surface of a shower tray has been damaged beyond repair, such as with many chips, scratches, or an overall deteriorated surface, we may recommend resurfacing the entire shower tray. This process takes longer than a chip repair, but we still complete it within one visit. After a shower tray resurfacing, your shower will look like new again. Any damage, such as cracks and holes, will be filled in as part of the procedure.

Matching the new enamel to your shower tray’s existing colour is a vital step in chip repair. Our technicians carefully blend enamel paint with special tinters until it matches your shower tray’s exact shade. Even though most trays are white, different factors like age, usage, and discolouration over time will change the shade. Standard white enamel paint won’t work for repairs, as it will not match your tray’s specific colour.

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!

Our step-by-step procedure for sink chip repairs:

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

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

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

4. After the filler, we apply an additional layer of bonder for a strong bond.

5. Our technician will then colour match the enamel paint to your shower tray and spray it evenly with a fine spray gun.

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

7. Your shower tray is good to go now! Ta da!

Can a shower tray chip repair be completely invisible?

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.

At Surface Doctor Gorgie, 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 Gorgie, 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 is the typical duration for this?

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.

I needed a shower tray chip repair and couldn’t be happier with the choice of Surface Doctor Gorgie. 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 - Gorgie, City-of-Edinburgh
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 - Gorgie, City-of-Edinburgh
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 - Gorgie, City-of-Edinburgh
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.
