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 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.

A critical part of repairing chips in a shower tray is colour matching the new enamel to your existing tray. This requires a lot of experience, and our technicians blend enamel paint with special tinters until it matches your tray perfectly. While most shower trays come in white, there are numerous shades of white, influenced by factors such as the age, usage, and discolouration of your tray. This is why you can never rely on standard white enamel paint for repairs, as it will not match your tray.

When it comes to hard surface repairs, the materials we use are of professional grade and sourced from specialised commercial traders. This ensures that your repair will last and be expertly done every time. DIY Repair Kits, however, often use average quality materials that won’t stand the test of time, and their tinters make colour matching difficult. For reliable repairs, we recommend leaving it to the professionals!
