5 More Clever GRP Uses You Might Not Know About

September 25, 2025

Our customers are using GRP kits in all kinds of unexpected ways, from repairs and restorations to custom creations.

Here are 5 more great ideas for your next project:

🪑 Waterproofing Outdoor Furniture
Mix your resin, apply it to the bottom of wooden or composite chair and table legs with a brush, then add a strip of chopped strand mat if extra reinforcement is needed. Finish with a topcoat for a durable, moisture-proof seal, no more rotten garden furniture legs.

🚿 Shower Tray Repairs
Lightly sand the cracked area of your fibreglass tray, clean and dry it, then apply GRP resin with matting cut to size. Once cured, sand flush and finish with topcoat. The result: a watertight, long-lasting repair without replacing the whole unit.

🎨 Custom Moulds & Forms
Lay fibreglass matting over your prepared mould, wet it out thoroughly with resin, and build up layers for strength. Once cured, remove the mould and add a topcoat. Makers use this for signage, set pieces, or one-off art installations.

🚲 Bike Shed & Storage Box Sealing
Brush resin over the inside surfaces of your wooden or metal shed, lining weak points with matting. When cured, finish with a grey or clear topcoat. This creates a fully sealed interior, keeping tools, bikes, and boxes safe from damp.

🗿 Decorative Projects & Sculptures
For sculptors, GRP is unbeatable. Apply resin and matting over your framework (timber, foam, or wire), then layer for thickness. Once cured, sand to shape and coat for a smooth, weather-resistant finish, ideal for garden art that lasts.
