DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repairing versus replacing in Ancrum
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Ancrum
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you work in Ancrum?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ancrum for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Common problems we fix in Ancrum
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
