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

Thorne's Expert Process for Repairing Shower Tray Chips

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.

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.

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!

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

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

2. To begin your repair, we'll apply a layer of our specialised bonder to the shower tray.

3. Next, we'll fill in the damage to restore the tray's uniform surface.

4. Next, we apply another layer of bonder on top of the filler to ensure a lasting repair.

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

Shower Tray Chip Repair Thorne

Will the repair of a shower tray chip be undetectable?

Affordable shower tray chip fix Thorne

After a shower tray chip repair, the original damage should generally be undetectable during regular use. But if you shine a flashlight and scrutinize the area, you might still spot the repair. This represents the highest standard of repair. For an invisible repair, resurfacing the entire shower tray would be your best option.

We pride ourselves on offering repairs that last for many years, and we are committed to ensuring you’re completely satisfied. Our reputation in Thorne is built on years of happy customers who continue to recommend our services. One key factor in our high-quality repairs is our ability to perfectly match the original surface, something we’ve perfected here at Surface Doctor Thorne. If you opt for a DIY Repair Kit, be prepared for subpar results. These kits can’t provide a repair that will last long, and they struggle with colour matching, often leading to discolouration. With our professional repair service, we take care of everything, giving you peace of mind and a job well done.

What’s the estimated time for this process?

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 was in need of a shower tray chip repair and am so happy I chose Surface Doctor Thorne. The service was professional from the start to finish, and I received helpful aftercare advice I will definitely use! Thank you for your amazing service.
HN - Thorne, South-Yorkshire
I had a small chip in my shower tray and you were able to repair it so expertly that I can't even tell where the chip was now! My shower tray looks brand new again! I'm so pleased with my repair.
JK - Thorne, South-Yorkshire
When our plumber accidentally chipped our brand new shower tray by resting his metal tools in it, we were upset. We initially wanted him to replace it, but he suggested trying a chip repair first. I was absolutely impressed with the repair you did—I can't tell where the damage was anymore! I’m so happy with the results, and it was definitely faster than replacing the entire tray.
GT - Thorne, South-Yorkshire
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.
