Bathtub Refinishing Dallas Answers Questions You Have
Dallas bathtub services knows the terminology can be confusing. Bathtub refinishing also called bathtub reglazing and bathtub resurfacing is so much more than simply painting a bathtub. In fact, for residential quality bathtub refinishing the new surface is a much more durable multi resin polymer glaze made specifically for bathtub, tile and shower refinishing. It is not D.I.Y. epoxy paint! I give an up front quote with no hidden fees and no tax. Plus a 5 year Limited warranty! It will be correctly refinished with silane molecular bonding agent to chemically weld the water proof coating (not water resistant paint) into the pores of the old surface integrating the two surfaces together! This not the Epoxy paint that is common with apartments and motels. You will save Thousands of dollars versus replacement. Dallas Bathtub Services prices are similar to the epoxy painting prices because I am owner operated.

Is Bathtub Refinishing And Painting The Same Thing? No... Here Is Why
- 1.) What's Included and How Is Our Process Different?
- First I never use Epoxy or Aliphatic Acrylic Urethane Paint. Please understand, Refinishing is a synergistic process that involves etching the old surface (without dangerous acids), Silane molecular bonding agent and the correct finish coat that is for bathtub, shower and tile refinishing.
- Copolymer coatings infused with silicone and polyester resin made for bathtub, shower and tile refinishing. They are superior in every way to standard aliphatics and two part polyurethanes and Epoxy Paint. Here are a few reasons to choose the finest coating in the industry. VOC compliant, non toxic, inert, and USDA approved • • Will NOT allow algae, moss, mold, mildew, algae to grow • Prevents rust & corrosion • Abrasion resistant • Stain Proof • Extends the life cycle of products • Long term solution with a life expectancy of 20 years [Even though this finish coat is what you see and must be of the highest quality... alone it still is not enough]
- Silane ... High Quality Silane molecular bonding agent is a very, very crucial step for longevity! Combined with fiberglass resin on select surfaces.Silane is activated by moisture. When you use hot water on the new surface condensation forms on the back side of the coating. This is exactly why we see so many painted tubs rupture and peel. High quality silane is about the same price as the finish coat so unfortunately it is skipped by those looking to increase profits or simply don't understand the importance of the extra cost associated with proper refinishing. As the condensation forms on the underside of the new surface the silane is activated and chemically welds the new and old surface together creating a permanent bond.
- You will get a like new surface for a fraction of the replacement cost!
- 2.) How Much Is It? Save over 75% Versus Replacement!
- Sale Prices Going On Now!! Owner/Operated = I do all work myself. No Day Laborers, No Sub Contractors. Best Price for the highest quality products because my overhead is LOW.
How Long Does Bathtub, Shower And Tile Refinishing Take?
A standard size bathtub refinishing will take about 3 hours to complete and be ready for use the following day! Because of the epoxy paint used in the 1990's and sadly still used by some refinishers and D.I.Y. kits. There is a common misconception that bathtub refinishing takes 3 days to cure and will peel off within a few days. This is why being knowledgeable about the refinishing process is so important for the consumer! You will save so much money by refinishing versus replacing that shopping around for a low ball price will be a major downfall! Bathtub, Shower and Tile Refinishing is a permanent solution when the correct products and steps are used. Being an owner / operated business I am able to promise those correct steps are used because I personally do each and every job! I also keep my prices low because I do the work myself instead paying sub contractors a percentage. The consumer needs to be aware that while other refinishers use paints that are water resistant such as epoxy and acrylic urethane. Dallas Bathtub Services uses only water - proof copolymer finish coats infused with polyester resin. Learn about the specifics of different surfaces As mentioned above only the highest quality silane molecular bonding agent is used under the finish coat and silane is also used between each of the 9 - 12 finish coats applied!

My service areas include the areas surrounding Dallas including Arlington, Mesquite, Dallas, Garland, Richardson, Forney, Plano and surrounding areas. Residential Quality means it has to be done right! It has to Last! Silane bonding agents applied before the fluoropolymer finish chemically welds the new surface in place! Bathtub Refinishing Dallas
- Dallas Bathtub Services uses Silicone Injected copolymer it is NOT like Epoxy or Aliphatic Acrylic Urethane paint. Instead it is the actual coating recommended for bathtub, tile and shower refinishing!
- High quality silane (used in the dental industry for porcelain fillings and other bonding applications. What goes under the coating is just as important as a quality surface! Silane is used by the dental industry for bonding and repairing because it bonds on a molecular level. Silane is activated by moisture allowing it to form a chemical weld between the old surface and the new coating.
- So when you you use the surface with hot water the condensation that forms between on the back side of the new surface activates the high quality silane causing it to chemically weld the two surfaces together. Having a high quality silane is crucial! Having a high quality fully water proof (not water resistant) finish coat is equally as important! Silane is a molecular bonding agent (used in the Dental Industry for bonding porcelain). High quality silane works by created a chemical weld between the finish coat and the original surface. When hot water is incorporated during the use of the surface it forms condensation between the new and old coating. High quality Silane is activated by moisture so when the surface is used it becomes even stronger. The quality of silane is reflected in the price and is as expensive as the copolymer finish coat. It will never be seen by the customer so unfortunately most refinishers skip this crucial step. Refinishing is much more than a specific coating, it is a synergistic process that depends on each step to be correctly completed.

Bathtub Refinishing Dallas Gives You A Permanent Surface
You will get a permanent surface for the solution to worn, outdated or damaged bathtubs, tile, showers, sinks and vanities. Let me show you the difference. Because Surprisingly most consumers pay for bathtub painting or use a bathtub painting D.I.Y. kit thinking it is bathtub refinishing. Even if you don't choose me PLEASE let me explain the differences so you can make an informed decision.
- While other refinishers are using inferior paints like epoxy and aliphatic acrylic urethane, which are water resistant. I use not only an etching system to prepare the surface, but also a high quality silane molecular bonding agent to chemically weld the new surface into the old surface. This is followed by a top coat of Factory Kohler white silicone injected fluoropolymer water proof coating. This creates a long term solution to the old, worn, discolored, damaged or simply uglied out surfaces!
Bathtub painting this is not what Dallas bathtubs services does. what is Silane? FluoroCoPolymer Coating? Please just know that Epoxy Paint and Acrylic Urethane paints are water resistant NOT Water proof, My coatings are FACTORY colors and made for Bathtub, Tile and Shower refinishing They are water proof coatings.

Bathtub Refinishing Dallas TX Uses Crosslinking
What Does Crosslinking Mean
Crosslinked Polymer Bathtub Refinishing
Crosslinking of polymers is a process where polymer chains are connected to each other These chains are caused by incorporating heat and allowing the polymer molecules to "link" causing a very, very strong bond.. The basics of how organic peroxides are used in the crosslinking of polymers typical examples of cross linked or (vulcanized) plastics and rubbers are shoe soles, underground and under sea cables (Imagine the harshness of the sea and the reliability that is a must.) Also timing belts and radiator hoses in cars and pipes. This is why technology has advanced in the field of Copolymer coatings.

I chemically weld the new surface into the old, not on top of the old. Which involves etching the surface, Hand rubbing the Molecular bonding agent into the exposed pores and microscopic scratches then applying copolymer finish coat infused with silicone and polyester resin as the final coating for most all house hold surfaces.
Because I care about your home, your Family, your pets and health I use the Low V.O.C Made in America copolymer as recommended for bathtub, shower and tile refinishing! Also I will use a fiberglass or vinyl cross link when needed under certain circumstances such as a Fiberglass or cultured marble bathtub. This will allow the bathtub to flex without cracking the new surface. Other Refinishers want to use a one product fits all mentality and they don't realize the old surface on fiberglass and Acrylic will give and flex. If the same product that was used on a cast Iron Bathtub were used on a Fiberglass Bathtub, Cultured Marble Bathtub or even an acrylic bathtub for that matter it would crack and fail rather quickly.

What a true blessing the Dallas area has been to me!
Bathtub refinishing and bathtub painting are two completely different things. Often consumers are tricked into thinking bathtub painting with Epoxy paint is actually refinishing. This is why I offer True Dallas Bathtubs Refinishing. The truth is Bathtub refinishing is a process that should be left to the professionals. Professional refinishing is achieved through etching the old surface, this exposes pores in the old surface, A silane bonding agent is then applied so when the finish coat is applied the new surface is bonded to the old surface.
Bathtub refinishing Dallas takes this process and expands on the basics. I etch the old surface with both chemical and manual etching so the exposed pores are on every square inch of the surface. I then use molecular bonding agent. It creates a permanent bond! This molecular bonding agent is hand rubbed into the exposed pores and over the entire surface. It has a chemical reaction with the synthetic porcelain that is applied with an H.V.L.P. sprayer (high volume low pressure) this is like an airbrush on steroids so get a great shine with no brush or roller marks!

Dallas Bathtubs Refinishing NEVER uses the brush and roller system of bathtub painting that others try to call bathtub refinishing. Anytime you simply paint on top of an old surface, especially when that old surface is like a bathtub or tile surround. You can not expect the paint to last very long. It's Equivalent to painting GLASS, then expecting it to last.
This is why Dallas bathtubs is so much more than bathtub painting. This is true on any surface that involves Dallas bathtubs or tile because each surface offers a unique challenge. Here are a few examples:
This is why Dallas bathtubs is so much more than bathtub painting. This is true on any surface that involves Dallas bathtubs or tile because each surface offers a unique challenge. Here are a few examples:
- Porcelain bathtub Refinishing - This surface would be equivalent to trying to paint glass. It is fired in the factory and has a cast iron core but is coated in porcelain then baked. This surface would be refinished by first scrubbing the entire surface with a chemical cleaner to melt any type of soap residue and oils that may be invisible to the naked eye but will be disastrous to the refinishing process. Next the surface is etched using a mechanical etching tool, NEVER using the very dangerous acids of years ago. Another chemical rinse is done to make sure I have cleaned up all areas thoroughly. Now is the molecular bonding agent. This first molecular bonding coat is then hand rubbed and worked into the microscopic scratches and pores that were caused by the etching process. Now it is time to apply the first coat of the Fluorocopolymer coating on the surface. This first coat melts into the molecular bonding agent so it penetrates beneath the original surface and with a combination of several more bonding coatings and finish coatings of synthetic porcelain the proceed to melt into the prior coating. With a hard surface such as porcelain bathtubs and tile I will use a liquid glass additive in the copolymer coating so it cures to a hard glossy finish. Mimics the Look and Feel of Porcelain!!
- Fiberglass, Acrylic, Cultured Marble - These surfaces all have (2) things in common, They flex (which is why they crack) and they all contain fiberglass. Not only will the refinishing repair the cracks but adds a lot more strength to the original surface. So when repairing these surfaces and refinishing these surfaces it is best to use a fiberglass resin additive to the synthetic porcelain. They will be cleaned and etched just like porcelain. However, we want to take advantage of the fiberglass resin so the new surface will flex with the old surface. These surfaces will still be finished off with the liquid glass additive in synthetic porcelain. However, since we are making the new surface an integral part of the fixture we will still allow it to flex when under pressure so the new surface does not crack like the surface does when a (one coating fixes all) system is used.

Bathtub Refinishing was first recognized in the 1930's. Most of the bathtub,tile,shower refinishing work was completed in the more crowded areas of the United States such as Chicago. In Fact in Chicago you will see bathtub refinishing trucks and vans as much if not more then you see carpet restoration vans here in the Dallas,Tx. area.
The reason behind this is because of the amount of work and expense that is associated with replacing a bathtub. A quick trip to any home improvement store will reveal the actual price of a bathtub is only a few hundred dollars. This is just the beginning of the cost associated with bathtub replacement. Bathtub replacement will involve a plumber, then the removal of at least two rows of tile surrounding the tub because of the lip around the tub to prevent water leaking behind the tub. Then the mathematics of 'will the old tub go out thru the door and hallway'. More importantly, will the new bathtub fit back in? As you can quickly realize after just touching on a few of the issues with bathtub replacement you will quickly understand why bathtub refinishing is a very cost effective and time effective solution. Most all bathtub refinishing can be completed in a single visit. Dust and construction mess is virtually non existent and my flat rate bathtub refinishing Dallas area prices means you will know the exact price to budget!

Bathtub Refinishing
I have seen this more in 2018 than I have in the past several years!
- First, you need to understand that bathtub refinishing is not painting a bathtub. I have seen more bathtubs and tile painted in 2018 than I have in the last several years. (One job the customer admitted they had considered me 2 months earlier but went with a cheaper price) I promise I understand! However, I need to explain why prices are set the way they are.
- Instead of looking for quality... some professionals are looking to cut cost and raise profits! I am seeing everything from lacquer automobile paint to the D.I.Y. epoxy paint kits being used! I use the correct synergistic process... And I do the work myself!! Dallas Bathtub Services
- Epoxy paint, lacquer automotive paint, oil based paint... I have seen it all. Why throw away money on something that is going to only last a few weeks or months at best! The question is not "If it is going to peel?" But rather "How soon is it going to peel?"
- The fact that paint goes on top of the old surface has more blame, the key word being paint! Also to blame are the cheap lacquer thinners! So many times instead of purchasing the specialty thinner designed for correct coating Lacquer thinner is used because.... well, it thins the coating and it's half the price of the correct thinner. (Correct being the key word here) See, it's not about making something look pretty good (that's not hard to do) ... it's about trying to duplicate a factory finish and provide years of service! Lacquer thinner contains silicone and other fillers that leave the coating brittle in areas.
- Etching the old surface opens pores and creates microscopic scratches. This crucial step is being dismissed for the sake of time. (New methods want to bond with epoxy paint primer).... I don't mind spending the extra time for a proven method!
- Silane is a molecular bonding agent developed by the Aerospace Industry! (used in the dental industry for bonding porcelain fillings) once again the quality varies from supplier to supplier with 100's available) High quality silane is worked into the pores of the etching process, and high quality silane is applied between coats to tie the coatings together. It is an expense and it is not going to be seen (so many will skip on this step)... yet the lack of it will surely show in a matter of weeks!
- So How is my refinishing completed? With Dallas bathtub refinishing services you will quickly see this is not a specific coating... it is a process a synergistic process that works together with each step being crucial to the outcome!
- First, I sanded and stripped back the paint that failed! Then I etched the old surface using a spun fiber disk rotating at 2600 RPM. Everything was then clean with tub and tile clean. After this Silane was hand rubbed into the surface before being refinished with a Copolymer coating that is infused with polyester and fiberglass resin for a superior gloss and then chemically welded into, not on top of the surface and tied with silane bonding agent between the 12 coats.This is Not Epoxy paint that yellows,dulls and fades and Not Alipahtic Acrylic Urethane paint like the others use! This dries to a non yellowing, ultra hard and chemically bonded surface that is expected to last 20 years before needing to be refinished again! It includes a limited warranty!
