Fast and efficient shower tray fix Granton Shower tray surface repair in Granton

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.

When you find a chip in your shower tray, it is usually due to something impacting the tray, such as something falling on it or bashing it. Shower trays are typically made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin. This material is lightweight and easy to shape, but it’s also brittle. This means that sharp or hard impacts can cause it to chip or crack. Once the surface is cracked or chipped, it’s crucial to have it repaired immediately to prevent the damage from worsening. We are here to help you in Granton with your shower tray chip repair. Call now for more information and a free quote.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in Granton

Shower trays come in a range of materials and textures, but acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin is one of the most common, offering durability. The issue with these materials is their tendency to be brittle, making them prone to chips and scratches. Such surface damage can trap moisture, promoting mildew and mould growth. That’s why it’s essential to repair any chips, scratches, or cracks promptly to keep the surface waterproof and in top 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.

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!

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

1. We’ll review the damage and provide a free, no-obligation quote for the repair.

2. The first step in your repair is 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. A second layer of bonder is applied over the filler to ensure proper adhesion.

5. The technician will now match the enamel paint to your shower tray's surface and apply it using a fine spray gun.

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

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

Granton Shower Tray Chip Repair Services

Will the repair of a shower tray chip be undetectable?

Shower tray repair near me Granton

When you have a chip in your shower tray and this gets repaired, the original damage should not be noticeable under normal usage. However, if you were to shine a torch over your shower tray and examine it closely, you may still see something. After all, it is a repair. This is the highest standard of repair achievable. If you require a completely invisible repair that is undetectable in any circumstances, resurfacing the entire shower tray would be the better 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 Granton 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 Granton. 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 much time does it take?

Small chip repairs typically take about 1-2 hours. More extensive damage may take up to 3 hours. If you're opting for shower tray resurfacing, this will take around 4-5 hours to finish.

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 - Granton, 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 - Granton, City-of-Edinburgh
I had a very ugly chip in my shower tray which was turning a bit brown. You did a really good repair on it and totally made my shower tray look nice and new again. The technician said the chip was getting very damp, so it was good we didn't leave it any longer to get repaired.
