Shower tray repair near Gallows Inn

Landlord and trade work in Gallows Inn

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Shower tray repair in Gallows Inn, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Do you need shower tray repair in Gallows Inn?

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims

What affects the price in Gallows Inn

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gallows Inn. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Gallows Inn and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Gallows Inn

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
