Have you chipped your shower tray? Do you need an expert repair done on your shower tray? Let us take the stress out of your shower tray chip repair by getting it done quickly and expertly so you can get back on with your day.

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

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.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in Smethwick

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.

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. 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. 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. Allow 24 hours for your shower tray repair to dry and cure completely.

7. Your shower tray is good to go now! Ta da!

Shower Tray Chip Repair Smethwick

Can a shower tray chip repair be seamless and invisible?

White shower tray chip repair Smethwick

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 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 Smethwick 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 Smethwick. 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 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.

I needed a shower tray chip repair and I'm so glad I chose Surface Doctor Smethwick 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 - Smethwick, West-Midlands
There was a small chip in my shower tray, but after your expert repair, it’s impossible to see where it was! My shower tray looks like new again! I’m really pleased with the repair.
JK - Smethwick, West-Midlands
There’s nothing worse than your plumber chipping your brand new shower tray by resting his tools on it, but unfortunately, it happened to us. We wanted a replacement, but he suggested a chip repair instead. I was so impressed with the result that I can’t even see where the damage was! The repair process was excellent, and it was definitely faster than replacing the tray.
GT - Smethwick, West-Midlands
I had a very ugly chip in my shower tray which was turning a bit brown. You did a really good repair on it and totally made my shower tray look nice and new again. The technician said the chip was getting very damp, so it was good we didn't leave it any longer to get repaired.
