Liquid & Spray Application
If the appearance of the bathtub is no longer pleasing to the eye, and no amount of cleaning can improve it, then there are only two ways to solve this: to change the bathtub or to refurbish it. Buying a brand new bathtub is not an easy and cheap undertaking and often involves a complete renovation of the bathroom. Refurbishing will help eliminate the need of such a large-scale renovation.
You can refinish the surface of a bathtub using spraying or pour-on application. Both can be used at home without any special professional skills. You can get a bathtub that looks brand new for a little amount of money under the condition that on the condition that the necessary technology is followed.
Spraying For Bathtub
You can buy bathtub enamel in most sanitary ware departments. The advantage of this restoration method is the low cost of the material and the snow-white glossy surface you get at the end. However, the disadvantages of enameling are very significant.
When carrying out work on your own, it is difficult to avoid smudges and bubbles that ruins the appearance of the bathtub; the enamel layer is thin and unstable to external impacts. Warranty for such refurbishment is no more than 6 months.
If a well equipped professional handles the spraying of the bathtub, the total cost rises sharply. In addition, after such a restoration, the bathtub will have to be left to dry for at least 2 days, which could be inconvenient for the residents of the house.
Professional spraying makes the surface more stable and durable, but it is far from being the same as industrial enameling.
After enameling the bathtub, it will have to be handled very carefully. Silicone mats with suction cups, cleaning with abrasive products and surface impact by metal and sharp objects should be strongly avoided. Prolonged contact with dirty water will stain the surface and it will be impossible to clean it without damaging it.
Pour-On Application Method
Pour-on application method will cost a little more, but this method has significant advantages. If high-quality material is purchased and the technology is complied with, the bathtub will look like a brand new one at the end.
Acrylic, due to its flexibility and plasticity, is less prone to mechanical damage; it is able to cover the surface with a thick layer as if creating an insert on the base of the bathtub.
The service life of the bathtub after acrylic refinishing is 7-15 years. The most important thing is to choose a quality material that will provide uniform coating, is easily applied and has a presentable appearance in the end.
Acrylic is more expensive than enamel, but due to its durability, this option is more cost-effective.
Acrylic is resistant to chips, cracks and holes, but is prone to scratches and loss of gloss. This can be avoided by careful usage and adherence to the rules of maintenance. Gentle cleaning, protecting the bottom with a mat while bathing animals and avoiding impacts of sharp objects will extend the life of the acrylic coating.
