What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Shower tray repair in Cadder, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

FAQs for Cadder
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cadder. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cadder. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
