Common questions in Silkstone

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Do you need shower tray repair in Silkstone?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Silkstone

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • One price list for the entire UK

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
