Q: How to apply epoxy resin on a shower tray

Surface Preparation: Start by ensuring the tray is clean, thoroughly dried, and free from soap residue or oils. Mixing: Carefully mix the resin and hardener according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Accurate ratios are crucial for a proper cure. Application: Use a brush or roller to spread the resin evenly, taking care on vertical or curved surfaces. High-viscosity resins, like Art Pro Deluxe, stay in place and help avoid unwanted drips. Curing: Allow the tray to cure in a dust-free environment. The surface is usually touch-dry within 12–24 hours, but full hardness develops over a few days.

Can you put epoxy resin on shower trays?

Epoxy resin can be used on shower trays to create a robust, glossy, and water-resistant surface. When applied properly, it adds both durability and a refreshed appearance to ageing or worn trays.

Why consider epoxy resin for shower trays?

Epoxy resin forms a seamless, clear coating that can revitalise shower trays and protect them from water damage and everyday wear. Modern formulas offer scratch resistance and high clarity, making them an attractive choice for both repair and decorative bathroom updates. A product like Art Pro Deluxe offers precise application, ideal for surfaces where finish quality matters.

When this matters

It also suits those seeking a bespoke or artistic bathroom look, as pigments compatible with epoxy resin may be added for a unique effect—just ensure any pigments are suitable for use with the chosen resin.
