If you wish to personalise your resin shower tray, adding colour is a creative and straightforward way to achieve a look that suits your style.
How to Add Colour to Resin Shower Trays
Colouring your resin shower tray can be done by mixing in compatible pigments or dyes before pouring the resin. It’s important to use pigments specifically designed for epoxy or polyurethane resin to ensure an even blend and lasting finish. Add a small amount of pigment at a time and mix thoroughly until you reach your desired shade. Always follow the resin manufacturer’s instructions regarding compatible additives and proportions.
Choosing the Right Resin and Pigment
Selecting a resin suitable for your project is crucial. For shower trays, opt for resins formulated for deep pours and high durability, such as the EpoxyTable 5-Five. When it comes to colour, concentrated liquid or powder pigments designed for epoxy will provide vibrant, consistent colours without affecting the curing process.
Practical Tips for Customising Your Tray
- Test your chosen colour on a small resin sample before committing to a large pour.
- Avoid overloading the resin with pigment—too much can affect curing and hardness.
- Consider creating layered or marbled effects by dividing the resin and mixing separate colours.
When Custom Colour Matters
Adding colour is ideal if you want your shower tray to coordinate with tiles or stand out as a unique design feature. Custom colouring also lets you match the tray to other resin elements in your bathroom or create special effects not found in off-the-shelf trays.
