How do you remove purple primer out of a stand up fiberglass shower?
MichaelPainter
Anything you use is going to remove the gloss at that spot. First thing I would try is clear PVC cleaner. Put some on a paper towel and wipe it across the primer quickly. I think this should remove the purple.
My husband and I are redoing a bath and he accidentally splashed purple plumbimg primer on the wall and base of the shower unit. Thought it was a done deal but here is what I did within an hour of his accident.
First I tried applying bleach to an old towel and rubbing the spots - faded some but not much difference.
Next I tried spraying the towel with Oxi-Clean laundry detergent and rubbing - still no change.
Then I tried lemon juice applied the same way - nothing.
Finally, I tried applying De-Solve It to the cloth and rubbing each spot - wah lah! It took every stain out! Had to use elbow grease but it worked and it doesn't appear to have damaged the finish at all!
Don't know if it was the combination of what I used or just the De-Solve It itself but we're very happy that we're not having to spend another $600 on our unit!

Installing A Shower Unit?
How to install a shower unitHomeowners who want to install a shower in their home can do the job themselves instead of having to pay someone to do it. Find the materials that you need to complete the shower. You will need the base for the shower, the shower door, fiberglass for the shower itself, and the attachments. Begin by building the base of the shower. Make the base tall enough to keep the water off the floor, but low enough so you can easily step over the edge to get in the shower. Construct the frame of the shower from the wood and then add the fiberglass to the wooden frame. Use caution when using fiberglass because you can get the small glass particles in your hands.Make a door frame that will house the shower door. When you finish with the frame, carefully slide the glass form the packaging into the frame. Use brackets to attach the hinges so that the door will open and shut. Make sure the door closes completely so no water leaks out of the shower. Install the plumbing attachments so you can take a shower as well as any extras you would like in the shower such as towel racks and containers for shampoo.
