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.

A chip in your shower tray typically occurs when something impacts the tray, like a heavy object falling on it or striking it. Shower trays are most commonly made from acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin, materials that are light, easy to shape, but also brittle. This means that hard impacts can cause chipping or cracking. It’s important to repair any damage immediately to avoid worsening the issue. We’re ready to help with your shower tray chip repair in Saltdean. Call us now for more information and a free quote.

We have been repairing shower trays for many years in and around Saltdean, so you can be sure you'll receive first-class service from us.

Replacing your shower tray is a time-consuming and costly process, but with our expert repair service, we can get it fixed in no time, saving you time and money.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in Saltdean

Shower trays are made from various materials and textures, but acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin is a common and durable choice. Unfortunately, these materials are prone to damage due to their brittle nature. Scratches are also a concern, as they can collect moisture and foster the growth of mildew and mould. Promptly repairing any chips, scratches, or cracks helps maintain the waterproof integrity of the surface and prevents further damage.

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.

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.

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!

Sink Chip Repair Procedure step by step:

1. We’ll inspect the damage and provide you with a no-obligation free quote for the repair.

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

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

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

5. The technician will now match the enamel paint to your shower tray's surface and apply it using a fine spray gun.

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

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

Will the repair of a shower tray chip be undetectable?

Shower tray chip repair in Saltdean

Following a shower tray chip repair, the original damage should be virtually unnoticeable under normal use. Yet, if you shine a torch and inspect closely, you may still detect the repair. This is the best possible repair standard. For a perfectly invisible repair, resurfacing the entire shower tray would be ideal.

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 Saltdean 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 Saltdean. 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.

How long will this repair 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.

I needed a shower tray chip repair and I'm so glad I chose Surface Doctor Saltdean to do it. Very professional service from the moment I called up through to my shower tray being repaired. I was also given aftercare advice which I will definitely stick to! Thank you for the great service.
HN - Saltdean, East Sussex
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 - Saltdean, East Sussex
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 - Saltdean, East Sussex
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.
