If you’re planning to update the look of your resin shower tray, it’s important to choose the right paint to ensure lasting results. Not all paints will adhere or withstand the humidity of a bathroom environment.
Why Specialist Paints Matter
Standard wall or floor paints often struggle to bond with resin surfaces and can peel or flake under moisture. Epoxy-compatible paint and high-quality acrylic paints formulated specifically for bathrooms offer superior adhesion and resilience. These specialist paints are designed to cope with regular water exposure and the daily wear of a shower tray.
Preparing Your Resin Tray for Painting
Prep is everything for achieving a smooth, durable finish. Before painting, thoroughly clean the tray to remove soap scum or residue. Lightly sand the resin surface to help the paint grip, and then apply a suitable primer that works with both resin and your chosen paint type. Skipping the priming stage risks poor results, as most general paints require a compatible base layer on resin.
Choosing the Right Paint and Finish
Select a bathroom-grade acrylic paint or an epoxy paint specifically designed for shower trays or high-moisture areas. A clear epoxy topcoat, such as Art Pro clear epoxy resin, can be applied for extra scratch resistance and shine, especially if you want a water-resistant glass-like finish.
When This Matters
If your resin tray sees regular use or is subject to standing water, using the correct type of paint and a proper primer becomes essential to avoid peeling and maintain hygiene.
