Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle shower tray repair in Silkstone Common
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Silkstone Common questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
