← Back to How to repair a resin table?

If you’ve noticed surface scratches, chips, or dull patches on your resin tabletop, choosing the right resin for repairs ensures a smooth finish and lasting protection. Not all resins are alike—picking one that matches your project’s needs is key to a professional result.
Which Resin Suits Tabletop Repairs?
For most surface-level repairs on a resin table, a clear, self-levelling epoxy is ideal. Resins such as Icrystal work exceptionally well for coatings or shallow fills up to 1.5cm. Its transparency and scratch resistance help maintain your table’s original look. For slightly deeper repairs—up to 2cm—Trasparente offers reliable clarity and is easy to use for both small chips and full re-coating projects. When greater thickness is required, for example filling larger voids or chips up to 5cm deep, opt for a deep pour resin like EpoxyTable 5-Five.
How to Achieve a Seamless Repair
Prepare and clean the table surface before starting. Lightly sand the damaged area to help the new resin adhere, removing debris and dust. Mix your chosen resin according to its instructions and pour gently, allowing it to self-level. For best clarity and a flat finish, keep the workspace dust-free and cover the repair as it sets. Avoid thick, single pours with resins designed for thinner layers, as this can lead to uneven curing or unwanted heat buildup.
When Does Resin Type Matter Most?
- If your tabletop repair is mostly on the surface or involves fine cracks, choose a resin formulated for thin layers to minimise waste and ensure a smooth, even coverage.
- For repairs involving minor chips or embedding decorative items, ensure your selected resin supports the required thickness in one pour to avoid lines or bubbles in the cured result.
