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 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.

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!
