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.

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.

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!
