Should I Recoat the Entire Surface, or Just Spot Treat?

Outdoor resin furniture can show signs of fading or dullness over time. Knowing whether to spot treat problem areas or recoat the entire surface is key to maintaining a long-lasting, glossy finish.

Spot Treatment for Localised Wear

If only small sections of your resin furniture display fading, minor scratches, or dullness, spot treatment is typically all that’s needed. Using a dedicated resin polish lets you restore shine to affected patches without disturbing the rest of the piece. For best results on resin, apply a professional product such as the “Epoxy Polish” system using a rotary polisher or suitable pad. This approach allows quick, targeted restoration and is ideal for touch-ups between more extensive maintenance.

Full Recoating for Uniform Restoration

When the entire surface of your resin furniture appears consistently worn, faded, or scratched, a complete recoating may be the better solution. Applying a fresh layer of clear epoxy resin, such as the Art Pro Epoxy Resin, provides a new, even finish with enhanced UV resistance and scratch protection. Always ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned—using a product like the Strong Technical Degreaser—before recoating to maximise adhesion and durability.

When to Spot Treat vs. Recoat

  • Spot treat: If damage is minor and localised—such as small areas dulling after summer exposure.
  • Full recoat: If the whole item is faded, lacks gloss, or has lost its protective qualities throughout.

Assess the condition of your furniture in natural light, and choose the approach that offers the right level of renewal for your needs.
