How to paint a shower base?

[jabeysekara]

I would like to paint my shower tray.  What sort of paint would be suitable for the job?  Can I use white knight 500ml white tub and basin paint?  As you can see the photos this tray was painted previously.  This tray is about 30 years old. I have attached some photos for you to  understand it. Please give me some advice for this work.

Hi @jabeysekara,

Thank you for your great question about your shower base. DIY expert @EricL will be on later this afternoon, but let me tag some of our amazing community members for their advice in the meantime @Adam_W, @Nham, and @CSParnell. 

Can I ask what your base is made of? Acrylic? Enamel? This will help assist with the best solution.

Hi Katie,

I am not sure what the material of shower base is. I did the magnet test.  Magnet stick in my shower tray.

Hi @jabeysekara,

Please have a read of this very comprehensive discussion on Painting a shower base It has details of the steps you'll need to follow. The only product that could work in your situation would be White Knight 500ml White Tub And Basin Paint, as it can be used on vitreous enamel-coated metal shower bases. 

Please let me know if you have questions.
