Epoxy Glue or Polyester Resin Kit for Shower Trays?

Choosing between epoxy glue and a polyester resin kit for your shower tray comes down to the type of repair you need. Each method offers advantages for specific situations—below, we help you decide which is right for your job.

Epoxy Glue: Rapid, Reliable Bonding

Epoxy glues, such as the “Klebfix” Two-Component Fast Epoxy Glue, are designed for quickly fixing cracks or breaks in resin shower trays. These adhesives create a strong, waterproof bond suitable for plastic, metal, and other surfaces often found in modern shower bases. Simple 1:1 dosing ensures easy mixing and application, even for DIYers. If you need to mend a small fissure or attach fittings, epoxy glue lets you get back to using your shower in minutes.

Polyester Resin Kits: For Lasting Structural Repairs

If your shower tray suffers more significant damage—such as a puncture or an area prone to movement—a polyester resin kit with fibreglass matting is usually better. These kits, like the Resin Fibreglass Repair Kit, provide proper reinforcement, bonding with rigid plastics, porcelain, and metals. The fibreglass adds extra strength, making the repair more durable and impact-resistant, ideal for areas exposed to regular stress and moisture.

When This Matters

  • Choose epoxy glue for quick fixes, minor repairs, or bonding surfaces without the need for structural reinforcement.
  • Opt for polyester resin kits if you’re dealing with bigger breaks or want a repair that withstands constant pressure and water exposure.
