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.

If your shower tray has extensive damage, including chips, scratches, or deterioration, we will suggest resurfacing the entire surface. While this procedure takes longer than a chip repair, we ensure it’s done in one visit. After resurfacing, your shower tray will look as good as new, with any cracks or holes filled as part of the service.

One of the most important steps in the process of repairing chips to a shower tray is colour matching the new enamel paint to match your existing shower tray exactly. This skill takes a lot of experience to perfect, and our technicians achieve this by blending enamel paint with special tinters until it matches your shower tray perfectly. Even though most shower trays are white, there are many shades of white, and factors like the age of the tray, its usage, and any discolouration over time will all affect the shade of white. This is why using standard white enamel paint for repairs is not an option, as it won't match your shower 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!
