Laying tiles on existing shower tray

Posted by Deborah Llewellyn, on
Is it possible to lay tiles on top of the base of an existing shower tray? Our shower tray has a small crack in it, which is sealed with sealant but looks ugly. I wondered if I could tile over the while base to make it look nicer?

hey Deborah This can be done however it can sometimes be difficult to get a nice finish to the edge of the tray and in my past experience seeing this be done can sometimes look odd. i would recommend replacing the tray rather than trying cover up the existing crack. if you could source a like for like shower tray it should be a simple job to take the old one out and install the new tray.
