If you’ve chipped your shower tray and need a repair, let us take care of it quickly and expertly, so you can get back to your day with no stress.

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

Expert Process for Shower Tray Chip Repair in Reading

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.

For shower trays with extensive damage like multiple chips, scratches, or an overall deteriorated surface, we recommend resurfacing the whole tray. This takes a little more time than a simple chip repair, but we’ll complete the job in one visit. Once resurfaced, your shower tray will look brand new, and we will 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.

Our repairs differ from DIY Repair Kits because we use only professional grade materials, sourced from specialised commercial suppliers. With years of experience in the hard surface repair industry, we ensure every repair is long-lasting and expertly completed. DIY Repair Kits offer lower quality materials that aren’t as durable, and their tinters are hard to match for a precise colour. Trust the professionals for your hard surface repairs!

Our step-by-step procedure for sink chip repairs:

1. Our team will assess the damage and give you a free quote for the repair.

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

3. The damage will then be filled in to create a smooth, even surface.

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

5. Our technician will then colour match the enamel paint to your shower tray and spray it evenly with a fine spray gun.

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

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

Shower Tray Chip Repair Reading

Will the repair of a shower tray chip be undetectable?

Shower tray repair near me Reading

A shower tray chip repair, once completed, should not be noticeable with normal use. However, if you shine a light and closely inspect it, you might see some evidence of the repair. This is the best repair standard available. If you're looking for a truly invisible repair, resurfacing the whole shower tray might be a better solution.

Our repairs last for many years, and we take great pride in the work we do, ensuring that you’re completely satisfied. We’ve been serving Reading for many years and have a long list of happy customers who recommend us regularly. A key element of our high-quality repairs is achieving the perfect colour match to the original surface, something we have perfected at Surface Doctor Reading. Opting for a DIY Repair Kit won’t provide you with the same level of quality. These kits often lead to short-term repairs that discolour over time, and colour matching is difficult. With our professional service, you don’t need to worry about any of this—we’ll handle the entire repair process for you.

What is the typical duration for this?

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.

You repaired a small chip in my shower tray so well that I can’t even tell where it was anymore! Now my shower tray looks brand new! I’m thrilled with the repair.
JK - Reading, Berkshire
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 - Reading, Berkshire
My shower tray had a nasty chip that was turning brown, but you did an excellent repair and made it look brand new again. The technician mentioned the chip was becoming damp, so it was great we didn’t wait any longer to repair it.
