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.

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 Preston. Call now for a free quote and more details.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in Preston

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.

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.

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.

The difference between our repairs and DIY Repair Kits is that all of the materials we use are professional grade materials, only available from specialised commercial traders. After years of experience in the hard surface repair industry, we’ve sourced the highest quality materials, ensuring a lasting and expert repair every time. DIY Repair Kits, on the other hand, use average quality materials that won’t last. The tinters provided are difficult to get an accurate colour match with. We highly recommend leaving your hard surface repair needs to the professionals!

The sink chip repair process, step by step:

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

2. We begin by applying a layer of our specialised bonder to the shower tray to start the repair process.

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

4. Another layer of bonder is applied on top of the filler.

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. Give your shower tray repair 24 hours to dry and fully cure.

7. And just like that, your shower tray is ready for use again!

Preston Shower Tray Chip Repair Services

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

Shower tray crack and chip solution Preston

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 Preston 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 Preston. 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?

Small chip repairs typically take about 1-2 hours. More extensive damage may take up to 3 hours. If you're opting for shower tray resurfacing, this will take around 4-5 hours to finish.

I was in need of a shower tray chip repair and am so happy I chose Surface Doctor Preston. 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 - Preston, Lancashire
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 - Preston, Lancashire
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 - Preston, Lancashire
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.
