Step-by-step Guide:
Repairing your cracked shower tray – step by step
All steps for repair and sealing: preparation, masking, stapling cracks, sanding, sealing and coating. Practical tips help at every step. Long-lasting protection for your shower tray.
Step 1: Masking
Protect surrounding areas with masking tape, paper and film. Don’t forget to cover the drain.
Apply a first tape about 20 mm from the tray edge, then cover the gap to the tray with 30 mm tape. This master tape is removed after coating.
Step 2: Staple the cracks
Use a plastic repair stapler to staple broken sections securely.
Press hot staples in flush (do not pierce through) and secure all areas carefully.
Step 3: Stabilize the tray base
Underfill the area around the stapled crack with 2-component expanding foam to increase stability.
Drill 8 mm holes around the crack (beware of pipes and installations beneath!). Inject foam, let it cure and trim any excess flush.
Cut metal staples flush with side cutters and sand smooth — a finger sander works best.
Step 4: Key the shower tray
Clean and thoroughly key with 80-grit paper/sponge; carefully key the edges without damaging the master tape.
Step 5: Seal repaired areas
Seal all repaired areas, hairline cracks and holes with PU sealer. Smooth with a finger wetted with WDC cleaner. Do not use water or silicone remover.
Step 6: Let the PU sealer dry
Allow at least 20 minutes to tack off; better to let it fully cure.
Step 7: Coat the shower tray
Now coat the prepared shower tray with SPEEDLINER PRO — either by roller/brush or with a spray gun.
