What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Platts Common
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?
Across the UK, and that includes Platts Common. Prices don’t change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Platts Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Platts Common
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
