Materials you will need:
- Resin shower tray
- Adhesive suitable for resin shower trays
- Silicone sealant
- Caulking gun
- Clean cloth
- Masking tape
- Measuring tape
Step 1: Preparation
Before you begin, make sure the area where the shower tray will be installed is clean, dry, and free from any old adhesive or debris. Using a clean cloth, wipe down the surface to ensure all dust and grime are removed. Measure the space to ensure the resin shower tray will fit perfectly.
Step 2: Applying the Adhesive
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix the adhesive for the resin shower tray. Apply the adhesive evenly on the bottom of the tray using a suitable tool, such as a trowel or putty knife. Be sure to spread the adhesive evenly to ensure maximum coverage.
Step 3: Placing the Shower Tray
Gently place the resin shower tray onto the adhesive, aligning it with the previously measured space. Press it down firmly to ensure proper contact between the tray and the floor. To prevent any shifting during the curing process, use masking tape to secure the tray in place.
Step 4: Allow for Curing
Refer to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended curing time. It is important not to disturb or put any weight on the tray during this process. This will allow the adhesive to set and bond properly with the shower tray and the floor.
Step 5: Applying Silicone Sealant
Once the adhesive has cured, it’s time to apply silicone sealant to further reinforce the bond and prevent any water leakage. Load the silicone sealant into a caulking gun and carefully run a bead along the edges of the shower tray where it meets the walls and floor. Smooth the sealant using a wet finger or a silicone smoothing tool for a neat finish.
Step 6: Clean Up
Finally, clean up any excess adhesive or silicone sealant using a damp cloth. Be sure to remove any masking tape before the sealant dries to avoid any unwanted residue.
With these step-by-step instructions, you can confidently glue a resin shower tray and have a sturdy, secure, and leak-free installation. Remember, proper preparation and patience are key to achieving professional results. Enjoy your new resin shower tray!
