About our shower tray repair in Goudhurst
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Goudhurst
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Goudhurst?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
