Customer Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Solid, well-made paint tray that does exactly what it should. The deep well holds plenty of paint and the ribbed section loads the roller perfectly. No spills, no mess, and it cleans up brilliantly. Great value." — Trevor M., Homeowner, Plymouth

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We use these on every decorating job and they're brilliant. Tough enough to handle daily site use, easy to clean between colours, and the size is perfect for standard 25cm rollers. Stock up on several for efficiency." — Natasha L., Decorator, Leeds

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Painted three bedrooms with this tray and it made the job so much easier. The deep sides stopped paint going everywhere and the ribbed bit really does help get the right amount on the roller. Much better than disposable trays." — Ahmed K., Homeowner, Birmingham

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent quality for the price. We've been using the same trays for over a year on our property maintenance contracts and they're still going strong. Easy to stack, easy to clean, and they just work." — Caroline R., Property Manager, Newcastle

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Simple but effective. The size is spot on for my 25cm roller, it holds enough paint to do a whole wall without refilling, and it washes out in seconds. One of those tools you don't think about until you use a rubbish one." — Liam O., Homeowner, Dublin

About The Product

Every successful painting project starts with proper paint loading, and this 25cm plastic roller tray is engineered to make that process efficient and mess-free. Designed specifically for use with 25cm roller sleeves, this tray features a deep well and ribbed ramp that ensures even paint distribution whilst minimising drips and waste.

Deep Well Design
The generous paint reservoir holds sufficient paint for extended rolling without constant refilling, whilst the deep sides prevent spills and splashes, keeping your work area clean and professional.

Ribbed Loading Ramp
The textured ramp surface removes excess paint from your roller sleeve, ensuring optimal paint loading and preventing drips. This creates consistent coverage and reduces paint waste throughout your project.

Durable Construction

Made from robust plastic that withstands repeated use and cleaning, this tray maintains its shape and functionality across multiple projects, making it a reliable tool for both professional decorators and home improvers.

Easy Maintenance
The smooth plastic surface cleans quickly with warm soapy water for emulsion paints or appropriate thinners for oil-based products. The lightweight design makes handling and cleaning effortless.

FAQ's

What size roller does this tray fit?
This tray is designed for standard 25cm roller sleeves and frames. The dimensions ensure proper paint loading and efficient coverage for this most common roller size.

Can I use this with all paint types?

Yes, this plastic tray works with emulsion, satinwood, gloss, eggshell, and most other paint types. Clean appropriately based on your paint type—warm water for water-based paints, thinners for oil-based products.

Is this tray reusable?

Absolutely. This is a durable, reusable tray designed for multiple projects. With proper cleaning after each use, it will last through countless painting jobs, making it far more economical and environmentally friendly than disposable alternatives.

How do I prevent paint from drying in the tray between coats?

Cover the tray with cling film or a damp cloth between coats to prevent the paint from skinning over. For longer breaks, transfer unused paint back to the tin and clean the tray to prevent waste.

Can I use tray liners with this?
Yes, disposable tray liners can be used with this tray if you prefer quick cleanup between colours or projects. However, the tray cleans so easily that many users find liners unnecessary for most applications.
