mixing bucket for plaster

Any suggestions of a source for a new plaster mixing bucket please? Needs to hold at least 30litres & be suitable for mixing with a power driven paddle.

ISTR seeing one in a screwfix catalog within last 18 months or so, but can't track it down.

TIA

I save all the tubs that tile cement comes in...

Come on the world is awash with plastic tubs of all shapes and sizes.

And failing that, loads of places sell black plastic builders buckets for GBP1 a go.

than mine.

They are good though - and make handy tool-totes, too.

I remember when I wus a lad,Plasteres used to use a tin bath to do the mixing.

I particularly like the tubs of washing powder you get from Costco - big stiff plastic ones which must be about 20 litres; vertical sides and flat bottom so great for mixing/cleaning; and I cut a 3" hole in the middle of the lid, which just lies in top and I can poke my electric mixer, and not get everything covered in plaster while using it...

The important thing is that is has a flat bottom inside, or you can't get the mixing paddle to mix it all.
