How to use a shower shelf as a basin?

Hi, just wondering could I seal and tile the shower wall recess shelf and use it as a basin? I’d obviously need to add the plug hole but wondering if it would hold up?

Hi @georgia2 

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is great to have you with us.

I would not advise using this product as a basin as it is not designed to take the force of water pushing outwards. I would be concerned that the outer shell would fail causing water damage to the surroundings.

You might like to have a look at Bunnings range of basins as an alternative.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.
