Have you damaged your shower tray? We can fix your chip quickly and expertly, so you can relax and get back to your day without any hassle.

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 Portobello with your shower tray chip repair. Call today for more details and a free quote.

Replacing your shower tray takes considerable time and money, but we can repair your shower tray quickly and affordably, saving you both time and money.

Portobello Shower Tray Chip Repair Expert Process

Shower trays come in a variety of materials and textures. Most are made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, which is a durable combination. However, these materials are prone to damage due to their hard yet brittle surface. The surface is also susceptible to scratches, which can collect moisture and attract mildew and mould. This is why it is crucial to repair chips, scratches, and cracks as soon as possible to restore the surface to its waterproof original condition.

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.

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.

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!

Step-by-step procedure for sink chip repair:

1. We’ll review the damage and provide a free, no-obligation quote for the repair.

2. The first step in your repair is applying a layer of our specialised bonder to the shower tray.

3. Next, we'll fill in the damage to restore the tray's uniform surface.

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

5. Next, our technician will colour match the enamel paint to your shower tray’s surface and carefully spray it on with a fine spray gun.

6. Let your shower tray repair dry and fully cure over the next 24 hours.

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

Will the repair of a shower tray chip be undetectable?

Seamless shower tray chip repair Portobello

After a shower tray chip repair, the original damage should generally be undetectable during regular use. But if you shine a flashlight and scrutinize the area, you might still spot the repair. This represents the highest standard of repair. For an invisible repair, resurfacing the entire shower tray would be your best option.

Our repairs will last for many years, and we take great pride in our work, ensuring you are completely satisfied with your repair. We’ve been serving Portobello for many years and have numerous happy customers who continue to recommend us regularly. One of the most important factors in creating a high-quality repair is achieving a perfect colour match to the original surface, which is something we have mastered at Surface Doctor Portobello. If you choose to try out a DIY Repair Kit, be warned that the repair quality won’t come close to what we can achieve. DIY kits can only provide repairs that may last a few months and are often hard to colour match, which can lead to discolouration. With a professional repair, you won’t need to worry about any of this. We handle the repair process, so you can relax and enjoy the results.

What’s the estimated time for this process?

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.

I was in need of a shower tray chip repair and am so happy I chose Surface Doctor Portobello. 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.
HN - Portobello, City-of-Edinburgh
I had a small chip in my shower tray and you were able to repair it so expertly that I can't even tell where the chip was now! My shower tray looks brand new again! I'm so pleased with my repair.
JK - Portobello, City-of-Edinburgh
There is nothing worse than your plumber chipping your brand new shower tray by resting his metal tools in there, but unfortunately, it happened to us. We wanted him to replace it, but he insisted on trying a chip repair first. I have to say, I was so impressed with the repair you did that I can’t even tell where the damage was or what it looked like. I’m genuinely impressed by the repair and happy with the process. It was definitely much quicker than replacing the whole tray.
GT - Portobello, City-of-Edinburgh
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.
