How to Repair a Shower's Soap Tray

Detached Tray

• 1

  Wipe down the open space where the soap tray was originally installed with a dry cloth. Glue sticks best to dry surfaces.

• 2

  Sand the back of the detached soap dish with coarse sandpaper. Sanding removes old, dried glue from the soap tray while also roughing up the surface for better adhesion.

• 3

  Spread waterproof super glue generously over the back of the soap tray.

• 4

  Press the soap tray back into place on the shower wall. Hold the soapy tray in place for 30 seconds to one minute.

• 5

  Wipe away any glue that seeps out from behind the freshly glued soap tray with a damp sponge. Wait 24 hours before taking a shower to give the glue time to set before being exposed to moisture.

Broken Tray

• 6

  Wipe down the broken tray with a dry paper towel to remove all moisture.

• 7

  Spread a line of contact cement on the tray's broken edge.

• 8

  Press the missing piece firmly into place over the contact cement. Hold the broken piece in place for 30 seconds to one minute.

• 9

  Wipe away any excess contact cement with a damp sponge.
