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.

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 West Bromwich. Call us now for more information and a free quote.

Expert Process for Shower Tray Chip Repair in West Bromwich

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.

If the surface of your shower tray is severely damaged, with many chips, scratches, or overall wear, we recommend resurfacing the entire tray. While this takes a little longer than a chip repair, we can still complete it in a single visit. After resurfacing, your shower tray will look brand new, and we'll fill in cracks and holes as part of 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!

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

4. After the filler, we apply an additional layer of bonder for a strong bond.

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 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!

Expert Shower Tray Chip Repair in West Bromwich

Can a shower tray chip repair be completely invisible?

Restore shower tray surface in West Bromwich

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.

We pride ourselves on offering repairs that last for many years, and we are committed to ensuring you’re completely satisfied. Our reputation in West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich. 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.

How much time 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.

HN - West Bromwich, West-Midlands
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 - West Bromwich, 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 - West Bromwich, West-Midlands
My shower tray had a nasty chip that was turning brown, but you did an excellent repair and made it look brand new again. The technician mentioned the chip was becoming damp, so it was great we didn’t wait any longer to repair it.
