← Back to How to clean a resin shower tray after installation?

Resin shower trays are well regarded for their durability and style, but regular care is essential to keep them looking pristine. Taking preventative steps through routine maintenance can significantly reduce staining and keep your tray as new as the day it was installed.
Why Stains Happen and How Maintenance Helps
Resin is a non-porous material, but daily exposure to soap residue, hard water deposits, and body oils can eventually leave surface marks. If not addressed promptly, these can develop into stubborn stains. Regularly wiping your shower tray after use, especially in busy bathrooms, reduces the build-up of these contaminants, making deep cleans less frequent and more effective.
Effective Cleaning Approaches and Recommended Products
For general cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth with a gentle detergent or a specialised cleaner like the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula. This natural degreaser effectively removes soap, adhesive residues and even silicone, all without damaging the resin surface. To maintain the shower tray’s shine and tackle dullness from micro-scratches, an occasional polish with a resin-appropriate system such as Epoxy Polish can help rejuvenate the gloss. Always finish cleaning or polishing with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to ensure a streak-free finish and avoid scratches.
When Regular Maintenance Matters Most
If your shower tray sees frequent use or is in a hard water area, stains and limescale may develop more rapidly. In these cases, establishing a gentle but consistent cleaning routine—using soft microfibre cloths and specialist products—prevents residue and build-up from becoming harder to remove over time.
