Can I Add Resin-Moulded Accents to My Tray or Tiles?

← Back to How do you install a resin shower tray?

Adding resin-moulded accents to your shower tray or tiles is an excellent way to personalise your space, creating authentic, decorative details that stand out. With the right materials and techniques, you can achieve a bespoke look that remains practical and durable.

Designing Your Resin Accents

Before getting started, consider the style and placement of your resin features. Borders, geometric patterns, or subtle highlights can all complement modern and classic bathrooms. Using a ready-made kit, like the Tray Complete Resin Tray Kit, helps simplify the process and ensures colour consistency. Always plan your colour palette and test designs on a small area or sample tile first to ensure it matches your vision.

Application & Sealing

When applying resin-moulded accents, it is essential to ensure both your tray or tile surface and the resin piece are clean and dry. Securely bond accents using an appropriate adhesive or directly pour into moulds designed to fit your project. After the resin has fully cured, apply a quality sealant along edges and joints to prevent water ingress, maintaining longevity and a neat appearance. For shower trays and other wet areas, this step is especially important.

Practical Tips & Maintenance

Consider using pre-formed silicone moulds for consistent shapes and easy demoulding.
Choose pigments or dyes specifically formulated for resin projects to avoid fading.
Clean resin accents with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive cleaners.
Regularly check the sealant to ensure continued moisture protection.

When This Matters

Bespoke resin-moulded accents are ideal for those seeking a unique and coordinated finish, or when you want to refresh and personalise existing tiles or trays without a full renovation.
