Bathtub Reglazing Los Angeles

---

New bathtubs have a sleek, elegant finish that gives your bathroom a luxurious feel. Wouldn’t it be great if it lasted forever? Unfortunately, time passes and life happens. Stains, fading, chips, cracks – all these things build up over time and make your tub look dull, rough or even dirty. So much for that beautiful new tub! Now you’d rather hide your tub behind a door or shower curtain to avoid embarrassment.

Do you assume that replacing your tub is the only option? Not so fast! Modern technology provides you with a reliable, affordable alternative that restores your tub to its original luster. Your tub will look like new in a fraction of the time – and at a fraction of the price – of replacing it.

So what is this process?

---

Bathtub reglazing with liquid acrylic restores the surface of old, worn-out or damaged tubs. The transformation is remarkable: your tub once again has a snow-white, glossy finish that lasts for years and resists stains, damage from impacts and even microbes.

Reglazing your tub using the pour-on method gives it a thick, uniform layer that covers the surface completely without bubbles, streaks or bare spots.

Our professional technicians have extensive training and years of experience working with all types of bathtubs. They are efficient but don’t take shortcuts. They carefully follow specific steps that produce consistent results.

Bathtub reglazing consists of 2 main stages:

BATHTUB SURFACE PREPARATION

1. Abrasive cleaning

   ---

   The surface of the tub is thoroughly cleaned by sanding with an abrasive material. This is to ensure that all rust, lime scale, silicone and cement residues are removed.

   

2. Disinfection

   ---

   

   The surface is treated with a disinfectant to remove any organic material.

3. Degreasing

   ---

   A special solvent is used for the final step in preparing the surface.

   

REGLAZING WITH LIQUID ACRYLIC

1. Preparation of materials

   ---

   The reglazing material consists of two components: the acrylic and a hardener. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and measure the ingredients carefully.

   The procedure for mixing also needs to be followed carefully to avoid issues during the application. Using a mixer can create bubbles that will show up on the surface so it’s best to use a stirring stick. The technician has to be sure to reach the walls and corners of the container to be certain that the material is mixed thoroughly and evenly.

   

   The acrylic is then allowed to stand for 5-10 minutes before applying it.

2. Application of the material

   ---

   The liquid acrylic is applied using the pour-on method. Using a small container, the technician starts from the top and pours the material around the perimeter of the tub, working down the sides. Care must be taken to reach all areas. A spatula is used to spread the material until the entire surface is covered completely and evenly. Since the acrylic is self-leveling, it will have a smooth, uniform finish when it dries.

   

   The final step is smoothing the acrylic by the drain. The technician also cleans up any drips on the outside of the tub.

3. Curing

   ---

   t takes about 24 hours for the acrylic to dry completely before it is ready for use. During this time, care must be taken so that nothing touches the surface and mars the finish. For this reason, we recommend not using a nearby sink to avoid water being dripped onto the surface of the tub.

   In fact, it’s best to keep the door to the bathroom closed during the curing time so that no dust settles on the surface.

The best outcomes are obtained by experienced professionals. Our skilled craftsmen have extensive training and years of experience working in the field. They use only the highest-quality liquid acrylic made in the U.S. to guarantee a consistent, reliable result.

BATHTUB REGLAZING USING LIQUID ACRYLIC

There are various methods and materials for bathtub refinishing. They all involve covering the surface of the tub with a coating, kind of like adding a coat of paint. However, reglazing with liquid acrylic is clearly superior to other methods since it’s much thicker and more durable than a simple layer of paint.

Contractors and homeowners alike trust liquid acrylic applied with the pour-on method because it offers numerous advantages:

• Eco-friendly

• Quick application time

• Long-lasting results

• Like-new finish

• Damage repair.

DIY kits are available from retailers for homeowners that want to tackle the job themselves. However, there are a lot of details that can make or break a project, so it’s a job that’s generally best left to the professionals. For an affordable price, our specialists give you a flawless finish with no bubbles, ridges or thin spots. And it will last for years without chipping, cracking or peeling. Best of all, you’ll avoid all the headaches that can come with a first-time project.

Before the surface is prepared, the bathtub is disconnected from the water supply and the faucet, spout and drain are removed. A container is placed under the drain to catch any excess acrylic.

The enamel coating is removed, and the surface is thoroughly smoothed, especially where there are cracks or chips. Deep damage is filled in and sealed.

The tub is then cleaned with a disinfecting agent, degreased and dried completely. These steps are crucial and must be carefully completed before starting to apply the acrylic reglazing material.

The liquid acrylic is mixed and prepared according to manufacturer’s instructions. It has a limited working time, so the specialist must work quickly but carefully to cover the entire surface completely and evenly before the material sets up.

The acrylic is applied by pouring evenly in a small stream, starting from the top perimeter and working down the sides. The technician uses a spatula to even out and remove any excess.

During the application process and the subsequent drying time, there is no chemical smell. The acrylic is non-toxic with a zero VOC status, so it’s safe for you, your family and your pets.

The surface is completely dry and ready to use in 24 hours, after which the water supply can be reconnected and the faucet, spout and drain reinstalled.

ADVANTAGES OF BATHTUB REGLAZING WITH LIQUID ACRYLIC

Compare reglazing with liquid acrylic to replacing your tub, or to other refinishing methods. You’ll see numerous advantages that make it a great value.

• Cost savings. Reglazing costs a fraction of replacing your tub. Besides the cost of the new fixture, you also have costs related to plumbing, labor for removing the old tub and installing a new one, and repairs to adjacent walls and flooring.

• Durability. Liquid acrylic is remarkably durable, typically lasting 10 years or more. It has unique characteristics that set it apart from other materials. Its density, pliability and flexibility make it resistant to daily wear and tear, as well as to cracking, chipping and peeling.

• Easy to keep clean. Liquid acrylic does not require any complex maintenance or special cleaning products. A soft cloth or sponge with regular soap or a mild cleaner is sufficient. And it’s resistant to microbes, which protects you and your family from harmful bacteria and mold.

• Quick turnaround. Your newly refinished bathtub is completely dry and ready to use in just 24 hours. When compared to the time involved with replacing the tub or other methods of refinishing, there’s no competition: reglazing with liquid acrylic is the clear winner.

• Safety. Reglazing with liquid acrylic gives you a smooth, glossy finish, but it’s not slippery, even when wet, so it’s safe for children, adults and even the elderly.
