Has your shower tray been chipped? Need an expert repair? Let us handle the stress of fixing your shower tray chip quickly and professionally so you can get back to your routine.

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 Hatfield. Call now for a free quote and more info.

Our Expert Process for Shower Tray Chip Repairs in Hatfield

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.

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.

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!

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

1. Our technicians will evaluate the damage and offer 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. Afterward, we will fill in the damage to create a seamless, uniform 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. Let your shower tray repair dry and fully cure over the next 24 hours.

7. Your shower tray is now ready to be used again! Ta da!

Hatfield Shower Tray Chip Repair Services

Is it possible for a shower tray chip repair to be invisible?

Seamless shower tray chip repair Hatfield

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 Hatfield, 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 Hatfield, 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 much time 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.

HN - Hatfield, Hertfordshire
You repaired a small chip in my shower tray so well that I can’t even tell where it was anymore! Now my shower tray looks brand new! I’m thrilled with the repair.
JK - Hatfield, Hertfordshire
There’s nothing worse than your plumber chipping your brand new shower tray by resting his tools on it, but unfortunately, it happened to us. We wanted a replacement, but he suggested a chip repair instead. I was so impressed with the result that I can’t even see where the damage was! The repair process was excellent, and it was definitely faster than replacing the tray.
GT - Hatfield, Hertfordshire
The chip in my shower tray had turned brown and looked terrible. Your repair made it look as good as new! The technician said it was important we didn’t wait, as the chip was getting damp.
