Chipped your shower tray? Need a professional repair? Let us take the stress out of your shower tray chip repair by handling it swiftly and expertly so you can continue 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 Wivenhoe. Call now for a free quote and more details.

We have been repairing shower trays for many years in and around Wivenhoe, so you can be sure you'll receive first-class service from us.

When you choose to have your shower tray replaced instead of repaired, it will take a lot of time and money to get the project done and have your shower working again. We can repair your shower tray in a fraction of the time, saving you time and money.

The Professional Shower Tray Chip Repair Process in Wivenhoe

Shower trays are available in different materials, with acrylic or acrylic-capped stone resin being a popular, durable option. These materials, however, have a hard but brittle surface, making them susceptible to damage. Scratches on the surface can also collect moisture and lead to mildew and mould. To prevent further issues, it’s important to repair any chips, scratches, or cracks as soon as they appear, ensuring the surface retains its waterproof quality.

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.

Repairing chips in a shower tray requires precise colour matching of the new enamel paint to your existing tray. Our skilled technicians use special tinters to blend the enamel until it matches the exact shade of your tray. Although most trays are white, there are many variations of white, and the age, usage, and discolouration of the tray will all impact the shade. This is why standard white enamel paint won’t work for repairs, as it won’t match the colour of your shower tray.

The key difference between our repairs and DIY Repair Kits is the quality of materials. We use professional grade materials from trusted commercial traders, ensuring a lasting and expert repair every time. DIY Repair Kits, however, contain lower quality materials that will not last. The provided tinters are challenging to match accurately. For the best results, we recommend leaving your hard surface repairs to the professionals!

Step-by-step procedure for sink chip repair:

1. Our team will assess the damage and give you a free quote for the repair.

2. We begin by applying a layer of our specialised bonder to the shower tray to start the repair process.

3. Afterward, we will fill in the damage to create a seamless, uniform surface.

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

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. Let the repair on your shower tray fully cure and dry over the next 24 hours.

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

Shower Tray Chip Repair Wivenhoe

Will a shower tray chip repair be invisible?

Shower tray chip repair in Wivenhoe

When you have a chip in your shower tray and this gets repaired, the original damage should not be noticeable under normal usage. However, if you were to shine a torch over your shower tray and examine it closely, you may still see something. After all, it is a repair. This is the highest standard of repair achievable. If you require a completely invisible repair that is undetectable in any circumstances, resurfacing the entire shower tray would be the better option.

At Surface Doctor Wivenhoe, we take great pride in our work and are committed to delivering long-lasting repairs that ensure your satisfaction. With many years of experience in Wivenhoe, we’ve gained a strong reputation for excellent service and many loyal customers who recommend us. One crucial aspect of our high-standard repairs is achieving a perfect colour match to the original surface, something we’ve mastered over the years. If you’re considering a DIY Repair Kit, be aware that the repair you’ll get won’t come close to our professional standard. DIY kits are only capable of providing temporary repairs, and colour matching is difficult, leading to discolouration. With our professional repairs, you won’t have to worry about any of this—let us take care of it for you so you can relax.

What is the typical duration for this?

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 couldn’t be happier with the choice of Surface Doctor Wivenhoe. The service was highly professional from the initial call right through to the repair completion. I also received valuable aftercare advice that I plan to follow! Thanks for the excellent service.
HN - Wivenhoe, Essex
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 - Wivenhoe, Essex
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 - Wivenhoe, Essex
There was a large, ugly chip in my shower tray that was turning brown. Your repair was fantastic, and now my shower tray looks brand new! The technician said it was good we acted fast, as the chip was getting damp.
