Yes — a chipped shower tray can be repaired professionally in the vast majority of cases. Here is what the repair involves.
Shower Tray Materials
Acrylic — the most common shower tray material. Lightweight, flexible and very repairable. Chips are filled with colour-matched acrylic compound.
Stone resin — heavier and denser than acrylic. Premium product. Chips filled with colour-matched stone resin compound.
Ceramic and porcelain — harder material. Chips are repairable using specialist ceramic compounds.
Common Shower Tray Chip Locations
Drain area — chips around the drain fitting, often from the drain cover being knocked or dropped.
Entry area — where people step in, particularly on low-entry trays, the entry edge is vulnerable.
Corners — the internal corners of the tray where it meets the wall.
What About White Shower Trays?
Most shower trays are white or off-white. The specific white tone varies between manufacturers — some have a blue-white tone, others cream, others warm white. A professional technician can match most standard shower tray whites accurately.
