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.

When a chip appears in your shower tray, it’s typically caused by something impacting the tray, like an object falling or striking it. Most shower trays are made of acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, which is lightweight and easy to shape, but also brittle. This means it’s vulnerable to chipping or cracking from sharp impacts. Once damaged, it’s essential to repair the tray immediately to prevent further issues. We’re available to help you in Newington with your shower tray chip repair. Call today for more details and a free quote.

Learn how we go the extra mile for our customers at Surface Doctor Newington

Having repaired shower trays for many years in and around Newington, we guarantee first-class service every time.

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 Newington

Shower trays are available in different materials, with acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin being a popular, durable option. These materials, however, have a hard but brittle surface, making them susceptible to damage. Scratches on the surface can also collect moisture and lead to mildew and mould. To prevent further issues, it’s important to repair any chips, scratches, or cracks as soon as they appear, ensuring the surface retains its waterproof quality.

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.

Matching the new enamel to your shower tray’s existing colour is a vital step in chip repair. Our technicians carefully blend enamel paint with special tinters until it matches your shower tray’s exact shade. Even though most trays are white, different factors like age, usage, and discolouration over time will change the shade. Standard white enamel paint won’t work for repairs, as it will not match your tray’s specific colour.

The key difference between our repairs and DIY Repair Kits is the quality of materials. We use professional grade materials from trusted commercial traders, ensuring a lasting and expert repair every time. DIY Repair Kits, however, contain lower quality materials that will not last. The provided tinters are challenging to match accurately. For the best results, we recommend leaving your hard surface repairs to the professionals!

How we repair your sink chip, step by step:

1. We'll take a look at the damage and provide you with your free quote to repair it.

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

3. We'll then fill in the damage to create that uniform surface again.

4. Next, we apply another layer of bonder on top of the filler to ensure a lasting repair.

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. Allow 24 hours for your shower tray repair to dry and cure completely.

7. Ta da! Your shower tray is all set to be used again!

Expert Shower Tray Chip Repair in Newington

Can a shower tray chip repair be seamless and invisible?

Cracked shower tray repair service Newington

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.

We pride ourselves on offering repairs that last for many years, and we are committed to ensuring you’re completely satisfied. Our reputation in Newington is built on years of happy customers who continue to recommend our services. One key factor in our high-quality repairs is our ability to perfectly match the original surface, something we’ve perfected here at Surface Doctor Newington. If you opt for a DIY Repair Kit, be prepared for subpar results. These kits can’t provide a repair that will last long, and they struggle with colour matching, often leading to discolouration. With our professional repair service, we take care of everything, giving you peace of mind and a job well done.

How long 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.

I was in need of a shower tray chip repair and am so happy I chose Surface Doctor Newington. The service was professional from the start to finish, and I received helpful aftercare advice I will definitely use! Thank you for your amazing service.

There was a small chip in my shower tray, but after your expert repair, it’s impossible to see where it was! My shower tray looks like new again! I’m really pleased with the repair.
JK - Newington, City-of-Edinburgh
We couldn’t believe it when our plumber chipped our brand new shower tray with his tools. We thought about replacing it, but he suggested trying a chip repair. I’m so glad we went with that option! The repair was done expertly, and I can’t even tell where the chip was. We’re thrilled with the result, and it was definitely quicker than having the whole tray replaced.
GT - Newington, 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.
