Creating a watertight seal for your resin shower tray is essential to prevent leaks and protect your bathroom. Applying waterproof silicone sealant around all tray edges is a simple yet crucial step in this process.
Why Use Waterproof Silicone Sealant?
Waterproof silicone sealant acts as a flexible barrier, stopping water from seeping underneath the shower tray and damaging surrounding areas. Its resistance to moisture and mould helps maintain a hygienic and long-lasting installation, ensuring that your resin shower tray stays secure and your bathroom remains protected.
How to Apply Sealant Neatly
- Ensure all edges of the resin tray are clean, dry, and free of debris.
- Apply a steady bead of silicone sealant along every join where the tray meets the floor and walls.
- Use a smoothing tool or your finger to gently press the sealant into the edges for a neat, continuous line.
- Allow the sealant to cure according to manufacturer instructions before using the shower.
Choosing the right sealant is key—opt for a high-quality waterproof silicone designed for bathrooms. If you’re working on custom resin tray projects, such as with the “Tray” – Complete Resin Tray Kit with Silicone Mould and Colour Dyes, sealing the edges is just as important for functional use and durability.
When this Matters Most
Proper sealing is particularly crucial if your tray is exposed to daily water use or your bathroom is prone to damp. Failing to apply a good seal can lead to water penetration, which may cause hidden damage and costly repairs over time.
