Shower glass goes cloudy because Melbourne water leaves minerals behind every time it dries on the surface. Over time those deposits etch into the glass. Cleaning removes what is sitting on top; a treatment slows down how fast it comes back.
What the treatment involves
Deep clean the glass
Mineral deposits, soap film and body oils removed. The treatment will not bond to a dirty surface.
Assess the glass
If the surface is already etched we tell you what the realistic result looks like before going further.
Apply the coating
A protective layer applied evenly across the panel and left to cure.
Show you the aftercare
A quick squeegee after each shower makes the treatment last considerably longer.
What to expect
| Untreated glass | Treated glass | |
|---|---|---|
| Water behaviour | Sheets across and dries in place | Beads and runs off |
| Mineral build-up | Bonds directly to the glass | Sits on the coating, wipes off more easily |
| Cleaning effort | Scrubbing, often with acids | A wipe or squeegee |
| Already-etched glass | Cleaning has limited effect | Treatment reduces further etching but cannot reverse it |
Where we work
We service Melbourne's eastern and south-eastern suburbs from our base in Croydon.
Common questions
How long does it last?
It depends on how heavily the shower is used and whether the glass gets squeegeed. Aftercare makes more difference than anything else.
Can you fix glass that is already cloudy?
We can remove deposits sitting on the surface. Etching that has gone into the glass cannot be reversed by cleaning, and we will say so before you spend money on it.
Can it be done with a regular clean?
Yes, and it is commonly booked alongside a bathroom clean or a spring clean.
