Showe Tray Resurfacing

Here is the stone shower tray before we resurfaced it.

Above is a cast iron Shower Tray we were asked to sort out in the Ealing area of London. The tray is a little unusual in that it is made from enamelled Cast Iron. Most shower trays are formed from Gel-coated Stone Resin.

As you can see the enamel has taken a bit of a beating through years of use, especially around the waste, where water has sat for long periods and actually worn the enamel away right back to the cast iron, which has then started to rust.

You can see the damage around the waste area better in this picture:

Other parts of the tray have had a bit of wear and tear but the waste area was by far the worst area of the whole shower tray.

We also made good the chips in the enamel, masked off walls, etc and then resurfaced the tray in white (the customer wanted to go with white rather then the peach colour of the original). We frequently resurface shower tray to a new colour.

Once we had finished the Shower Tray looked like this:
