Scratches on a resin wall niche are not uncommon, but restoring a flawless finish is simpler than you might think. With the right approach, you can refresh the appearance of your niche quickly and effectively.
Assessing the Depth of the Scratch
Begin by inspecting the scratch under good lighting. If you can barely feel it with your fingernail, it’s likely a light surface scratch, which can usually be polished out. Deeper marks may require a gentle sanding and a recoating with fresh resin for a seamless finish.
Polishing Out Light Scratches
For fine scratches, try using a non-abrasive polishing compound applied with a soft cloth. Slowly buff the area with circular motions until the gloss returns. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before starting to avoid trapping dirt under the polish.
- Always use a clean microfibre cloth
- Avoid harsh abrasives or rough pads
- Test a small area first for best results
Recoating for a Refreshed Surface
If the scratch is more pronounced or if polishing alone isn’t effective, applying a thin layer of resin will help restore a smooth finish. Use a suitable clear resin, such as Vertical Glass for wall surfaces, to lightly coat the sanded area. Allow it to cure fully according to the product instructions before using the niche again.
