Aftercare Instructions

For showers resealed with the Platinum Seal Epoxy System

Purpose

This document is issued upon completion of your shower re-seal. It outlines the mandatory aftercare steps required to protect the epoxy system during curing and to ensure long-term performance. Failure to follow these instructions may void warranty conditions.

1. Curing Period (First 24 Hours)

  • Do not use: The shower must not be used for the first 24 hours post completion.
  • Ventilation: Keep the bathroom well ventilated (open window or exhaust fan) to assist curing.
  • Hands off: Do not touch, wipe, or disturb the epoxy joints or silicone seals during this period.

2. First 7 Days

  • No harsh cleaners: Avoid bleach, acidic, or abrasive products.
  • No pressure: Do not place mats, baskets, or heavy items on the shower floor.
  • Gentle rinse: Only rinse with water if cleaning is required.

3. Daily Use & Cleaning

  • Rinse & Wipe: After each use, rinse with clean water and use a squeegee or soft cloth to wipe down walls and floor.
  • Weekly Clean: Use a mild vinegar and water solution or pH‐neutral bathroom cleaner to prevent soap scum and mould.
  • Avoid Damage:
  • No hard‐bristle brushes, scourers, or abrasive pads.
  • No harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia, strong acids, or alkaline cleaners).
  • Do not use high‐pressure cleaners or steam systems on epoxy joints.

4. Additional Notes

  • After re-seal, a light grout haze may develop over sections of the tile. This is normal and can be wiped off with a damp cloth 24 hours after re-seal.

Important Notice

Following these instructions is essential to maintain the integrity of your new epoxy re-seal. Platinum Seal cannot be held liable for leaks or damage caused by:

  • Shower use within 24 hours of completion,
  • Cleaning with harsh or abrasive products,
  • Structural or plumbing faults unrelated to the reseal.
