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.

Finding a chip in your shower tray is often due to something impacting the tray, like a heavy object falling on it or hitting it. Shower trays are usually made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin. While these materials are light and easy to shape, they’re brittle, meaning they can crack or chip easily when impacted. It’s important to repair any chips or cracks promptly to avoid further damage. We’re ready to assist with your shower tray chip repair in London. Call now for a free quote and more details.

For years, we’ve been repairing shower trays in and around London, and you can count on receiving excellent service from us.

If you replace your shower tray, it can be a costly and lengthy process. However, we can repair it in a fraction of the time, helping you save time and money.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in London

Shower trays come in various materials and textures, with many being made of acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, a combination known for its durability. The downside is that these materials can be prone to damage due to their hard but brittle surface. Scratches are also common and can trap moisture, leading to mildew and mould. Therefore, it’s important to repair chips, scratches, and cracks quickly to restore the surface’s waterproof properties.

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.

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.

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!

The sink chip repair process, step by step:

1. We’ll inspect the damage and provide you with a no-obligation free quote for the repair.

2. To start the repair, a layer of our specialised bonder will be applied to the shower tray.

3. We’ll proceed by filling in the damage to ensure the surface is uniform once again.

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

5. Our technician will now colour match the enamel paint to the surface of your shower tray and spray this on using 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!

Expert Shower Tray Chip Repair in London

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

Expert shower tray chip repair London

Following a shower tray chip repair, the original damage should be virtually unnoticeable under normal use. Yet, if you shine a torch and inspect closely, you may still detect the repair. This is the best possible repair standard. For a perfectly invisible repair, resurfacing the entire shower tray would be ideal.

At Surface Doctor London, 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 London, 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?

For minor chip repairs, the job takes about 1-2 hours. If there’s more damage, it could take up to 3 hours. Resurfacing a shower tray takes around 4-5 hours to complete.

After a small chip appeared in my shower tray, you repaired it so expertly that I can’t even find where the chip was anymore! My shower tray looks as good as new! I’m really happy with the repair.
JK - London, London
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 - London, London
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.
