KeithR Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 i have some small cracks around the plug on my shower tray, as the quotes for a new tray are very steep, i have been looking at other options. i found speedcoat on google and wondered if anyone has any knowledge of this? or can recommend anything else?? : :-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Don't know that one. You could try Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure, it works well. This is not a windup, google it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldi Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Afternoon all, I saw it at the nec the other week and it puts a completly new lining on the surface which must be cheaper than replacing the whole lot, well worth looking into I would say. Let us know how you get on if you go ahead. norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithR Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 it looks good, but i cant get a quote anywhere? a local dealer has offered me a similar product for a very good price, but he said he fills/seals the crack then primes and paints the shower base?? confuses me, i think of prime and paint as something you do to woodwork!, not plastic!! *-) ill need to speak further with him, and continue looking for a speedcoat price. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickt Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I had my shower tray repaired at Branfibre , Banbury Oxon. They cover tray in gel and fibre glass, it only takes a morning and is as good as new if not a lot stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicka Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi Keith Have a word with a local Fibreglass or Marine workshop. Here are a few in your area:- http://www.yell.com/s/boat+builders+repairs-north+east+england.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickt Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Have a look at www.branfibre.co.uk When i had my shower tray repaired they also coated the sink because that was showing cracks. Cost if i remember was about £200 . There is a campsite not far away and they took me into Banbury while the repair was carried out.You may get the same treatment from any fibre glass repairer , ie boat yards.

Brians dad Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The plastic tray in the toilet area of my Rapido started cracking, and the price quoted for fitting a replacement was eye watering. Brownhills suggested the alternative of a sealant, and spread some gunge all over the floor - I don't know if it is the same stuff as you have been asking about , but it seems to be pretty good. It did cost over £200 though, but the alternative is water rotting the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 "Speedcoat" http://www.speedcoateuro.com/about.html had an advert on this website not long ago.

KeithR Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 lots to look at and digest, i think. i was worrried about the underneath, but the very small cracks are all round the plug, and at the point where i carelessly tread when i load the shower (i use it as a storage bin!!). they have been there a while, so i think perhaps there is no major problem hiding away(i hope). all these systems seem to be very similar, and as ive been quoted a reasonable price (from a caravan repairer, not a freelance) i think i may go ahead. if it cracks again then it hasnt cost me loads and ill know the underneath will need action, too., and a different treatment.

flicka Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Keith - If you regularly use the shower for storage I would suggest you look for a duckboard to spread the weight across the whole shower tray rather than load being centred on a small area.

KeithR Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 you are right john, and i should have done that before. even when we are too old too learn, we are not too old to know we should have known better. if you know what i mean???? adrias rule ko??? 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
