Shower tray repair
The GFRP repair kit for shower trays includes all necessary components for the sealing and restoration of cracks, holes, and leaks in shower trays made of GFRP or thermoplastics. Specifically designed for use in motorhomes and caravans, it includes primer, epoxy resin, glass fabric, and top coat as well as the matching tools and accessories for application. The RAL-based color selection allows for a visually coordinated repair. With the included laminating roller, mixing cups, brushes, and step-by-step instructions, the kit is suitable for on-site repairs of small to medium damage.

What does the GFRP shower tray repair kit contain?
The kit includes an epoxy-based primer, a compatible RAL top coat, and a 2-component epoxy resin system combined with a lightweight glass fabric. Tools like velour rollers, brushes, mixing containers, and stirring tools are included. Also provided are acetone and a sanding pad for surface preparation. The materials are selected for repairing plastic or GFRP components, commonly used in shower trays for motorhomes or travel trailers. The volume included allows for localized spot repairs or smaller surface area fixes. A layered structure can be created by combining primer, laminating resin, and topcoat. The kit is also suited as an introduction to epoxy resin processing in sanitary applications.
Why is epoxy resin especially suited for shower trays?
Epoxy resin systems offer low shrinkage, excellent adhesion, and resistance to water and chemicals. These properties are ideal for high-humidity indoor areas such as sanitary GFRP surfaces. When glass fabric, laminating resin, and top coat are combined, the result is a dense, mechanically durable layer. Unlike polyester resin, epoxy is nearly odorless, making it more comfortable to use in tight interior spaces. The layered build-up allows for structural and aesthetic repairs that blend well with the existing component. Smooth, sealed layers can be achieved that meet the mechanical and thermal requirements of mobile sanitary use. Additionally, the RAL color alignment of the topcoat supports a seamless integration.
How is the repair kit applied?
Begin by cleaning, sanding, and degreasing the affected area to ensure a proper bonding surface. Next, apply the epoxy primer evenly and allow it to dry before continuing with the epoxy resin system. The glass fabric is cut to size and applied in layers; rollers and brushes help achieve even wet-out and reduce air bubbles. Once the laminate is cured, the surface is finished with topcoat to match the desired RAL shade. The step-by-step application guide provides structured support throughout the process. This setup also allows adaptation to similar GFRP repair areas depending on surface conditions and extent of damage. It’s suited for use in mobile sanitary installations and compact repair scenarios.
