Bathtubs & Sinks

Bathtubs and sinks require the same preparation steps since they are both typically made of porcelain.

1. Damaged caulking is removed and the fixture is scraped clean.

2. Acid wash the tub (or sink) to make it porous.

3. After several minutes, the acid is thoroughly rinsed with water and dried.

4. After the drying process, any chips or deep scratches are filled and sanded smooth.

5. The tub is wiped down thoroughly with solvent to remove any dirt or grease that would prevent bonding of the new surface.

6. Once the solvent evaporates, a bonding agent or adhesion promoter is applied over the porous tub to ensure proper bonding of the primer and finish coats.

7. The tub is masked off with tape and paper and other areas of the bathroom are covered with plastic to prevent overspray from settling. An exhaust fan is placed in the window to vent the fumes from solvents and spray.

8. The tub is sprayed with several coats of epoxy and primer.

9. Finally, the tub is sprayed with the finish coating - an acrylic urethane enamel. This "synthetic porcelain" makes our tubs and sinks look great!

Your bathtub or sink will be ready for use after twenty-four (24) hours. Please be sure to follow the care and maintenance instructions to ensure longevity of your new surface. We offer a three (3) year limited warranty. Proper care will extend the life of your new tub surface for many years beyond that.
