The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Hunters Forstal questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Hunters Forstal
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hunters Forstal. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hunters Forstal, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
