Grace and Favour Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 What's the shower tray made of, Geoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Davis Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 If it is GRP or plastic you are going to have a problem. You might get away with Plasticote but I doubt it will wear very well. If GRP you could possibly put a coat of clear resin over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bod Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Well this will test the forums knowledge! I for one have no idea. Bod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJ Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Toplac is made for painting onto GRP. How well it would stand up to this use I wouldnt know. Unless you have some laying around it would probably be as cheap to buy a new shower tray though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebulae Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 When I fitted a new bath, I was left with a white bath and a cowpat green basin. The basin is a special corner unit made of plastic. I rubbed it down with a fine wet and dry paoer and sprayed it with a white aerosol paint. 5 years later it is still O.K. Worth a try. I wil see if I can find the tin to get the name of the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac of Cygnet Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Or you could try a Tubby resurfacing kit http://www.tubbyuk.com/?gclid=CKGao_zkyLkCFZShtAodCR8A1g I repainted my bath 10 years ago with one. Needs doing again now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex- Member Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Use tile paint We have a large shower tray, to fit it neatly in to a specified gap we extended the shower tray by cementing in the remaining area then tiling over with plain White mosaic tiles. A few years down the line and the tiles and grout looked a bit shabby, so we painted the tiled area in tile paint. Perfect solution so far. it was very slippy after drying but a couple of uses and it's no different from the existing tray. Been using for 7 months, still in perfect condition. I should add this is a photo taken before painting. Edited September 13, 2013 by Julynian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
