Here's a basic explanation of the tub refinishing process:
- Preparation: The first step involves thorough cleaning of the bathtub to remove any dirt, grime, soap scum, or residues. This step is crucial as it ensures proper adhesion of the new coating.
- Repair: Any chips, cracks, or scratches in the bathtub's surface are repaired using special fillers or compounds. These repairs help ensure a smooth and uniform finish.
- Etching: The surface of the bathtub is then etched or roughened using an acid or abrasive cleaner. This step creates a textured surface that promotes adhesion between the existing surface and the new coating.
- Masking: Areas surrounding the bathtub, such as walls, fixtures, and floors, are masked off to protect them from overspray or accidental damage during the refinishing process.
- Priming: A bonding agent or primer is applied to the prepared surface of the bathtub. This primer helps the new coating adhere securely to the old surface.
- Coating: Finally, a high-quality coating material, such as epoxy, urethane, or acrylic, is sprayed onto the bathtub surface using specialized equipment. The coating is applied in multiple layers to achieve the desired thickness and finish. We also offer custom color matching to blend the bathtub with its surroundings.
- Curing: After the coating is applied, the bathtub is allowed to cure or dry completely. This curing process may take several hours or days, depending on the type of coating used and environmental factors.
Once the refinishing process is complete and the coating has cured, the bathtub should have a smooth, glossy finish that resembles a brand new tub. Proper care and maintenance can help prolong the life of the refinished bathtub, ensuring that it looks great for years to come.
