← Back to How do you restore a resin shower?


Cloudiness in resin finishes often frustrates anyone restoring or repairing an epoxy shower. Fortunately, with a thoughtful approach, you can achieve a beautifully clear, glassy surface that lasts.
Start With a Spotless Surface
Any trace of dust, soap residue or grease left behind before resin application can result in a milky finish. Meticulously clean and fully dry the shower area prior to pouring or brushing your resin. Consider using a gentle, solvent-free cleaner like the Strong Technical Degreaser to remove oils and silicones, ensuring excellent adhesion and clarity.


Mix and Apply Resin Properly
Mixing resin and hardener thoroughly is crucial—unmixed pockets can cure cloudy or tacky. Pour slowly and spread evenly to help release trapped air bubbles. Opt for a clear epoxy resin such as Art Pro, which offers high transparency and a durable, scratch-resistant coat. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for ratios and working time.
Let It Cure and Polish for a Lasting Shine
Allowing your resin to cure completely is vital before exposing it to moisture or moving on to finishing steps. Rushing this process can trap moisture or disturb the setting layer, leading to dullness. Once cured, a dedicated polishing system, like Epoxy Polish, helps restore clarity and achieve a deep gloss, especially if residue or micro-scratches appear.

When Clarity Matters Most
Keeping your resin shower finish clear is especially important in areas exposed to direct light or where aesthetics are a priority. Take particular care when resurfacing shower trays, decorative inlays, or surrounds, as these spots are most likely to show imperfections.
