I accidentally put white king mould soap and scum on my shower frame at the bottom of my shower and it’s ruined the colour.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Hi @marilyn3,
It appears the bleach-based cleaner has damaged or removed part of the anodised finish on the aluminium frame. Anodising is an electrochemical process that thickens the natural oxide layer to enhance corrosion resistance, surface hardness, and aesthetic appearance.
Unfortunately, once that coating has been affected, it generally can’t be restored through cleaning and there are no paints that will closely match it. The only option to restore that finish is to re-anodise the aluminium, which cannot be done with the aluminium in place.
The only real options would be to apply a suitable aluminium paint to the entire frame as no paints will perfectly match or replace the affected frame section altogether.
Unfortunately, there's not a lot of great options here.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Jacob
