Shower tray paint

[geoffwales]

Any reccomendations i got all the glue up from the carpet that had been glued over the tray but its very marked, does anyone know a good paint to coat the shower tray with please and which diy shop sells it

Just to be clear.. Your shower tray was carpeted ?

[geoffwales]

Yeah the cubical was never plumbed so the previous owner carpeted it and stuck a portapotti in it

[geoffwales]

Guess no one knows

What's the shower tray made of, Geoff?

[Graham Davis]

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.

[geoffwales]

Its plastic

Well this will test the forums knowledge!

I for one have no idea.

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..

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.

Try a car paint suppliers, there are loads of painted plastic bit on cars.

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.

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.
