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 you find a chip in your shower tray, it is usually due to something impacting the tray, such as something falling on it or bashing it. Shower trays are typically made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin. This material is lightweight and easy to shape, but it’s also brittle. This means that sharp or hard impacts can cause it to chip or crack. Once the surface is cracked or chipped, it’s crucial to have it repaired immediately to prevent the damage from worsening. We are here to help you in Rochester with your shower tray chip repair. Call now for more information and a free quote.

Our Expert Process for Shower Tray Chip Repairs in Rochester

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.

Repairing chips in a shower tray requires precise colour matching of the new enamel paint to your existing tray. Our skilled technicians use special tinters to blend the enamel until it matches the exact shade of your tray. Although most trays are white, there are many variations of white, and the age, usage, and discolouration of the tray will all impact the shade. This is why standard white enamel paint won’t work for repairs, as it won’t match the colour of your shower tray.

When it comes to hard surface repairs, the materials we use are of professional grade and sourced from specialised commercial traders. This ensures that your repair will last and be expertly done every time. DIY Repair Kits, however, often use average quality materials that won’t stand the test of time, and their tinters make colour matching difficult. For reliable repairs, we recommend leaving it to the professionals!

Sink Chip Repair Procedure 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 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. 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. Give your shower tray repair 24 hours to dry and fully cure.

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

Shower Tray Chip Repair Rochester

Will a shower tray chip repair be invisible?

Chipped shower tray restoration Rochester

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.

At Surface Doctor Rochester, 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 Rochester, 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.

How long does it take?

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.

HN - Rochester, Kent
I had a small chip in my shower tray, but after your expert repair, I can't even tell where it was! My shower tray looks brand new again! I’m so happy with the results.
JK - Rochester, Kent
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 - Rochester, Kent
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.
