How to prepare for your bathtub refinishing

Please Read My Frequently Asked Questions Page you will find my contact information there too. 
All I ask is that if you are going to put new hardware on (faucets, knobs, etc.) PLEASE do so before having the refinishing completed. So many times I have went back because of an accident that occurs while putting on drains, faucets etc. I have never had a complaint that I can honestly remember of the surface coming up around existing fixtures. However in 2016 I had about 6 cases of damage caused by putting on new hardware after the refinishing. It is usually slipped pliers, dropped wrench things like that and the damage was not bad at all it was more of a small chip or scratch that bothered the customer because of course they wanted it fixed. Please remember, this is not epoxy paint so it is etched into the old surface. I will mask off the fixtures and etch up to that fixture and warranty it!
Bathtub Resurfacing
Also to share my misfortune with you (maybe my expense can save you!) I refinished my (2) bathtubs at my house in 2004 Dallas bathtub aces took the drain out of my master tub and did not put much pressure on it honestly but I followed the directions on the drain removal tool (which whent like this: place this tool in the drain and unscrew using a screwdriver as the leverage if more torque is needed) and when the drain came out it was attached to the plastic elbow that goes under the tub... SO... I had to pay $1500 to have a contractor take 3-4 rows of tile off my wall and jack my tub up just to replace the plastic elbow that cost .78 cents! If you have a problem drain consider doing what I did with my 2nd tub.. I purchased a watco glue down drain  I am not affiliated with them in any way but they have a G-R-E-A-T product that is simply a facing that comes in any finish you want, you can order with a stopper or without. It comes with an epoxy glue that you glue the new facing on to your old drain! Mine cost about $20.00 back then I don't know what they cost now but I promise after spending $1500.00 and having a contractor for 3 days in my home with dust and then re grouting the tile, the little silly things that we sometimes don't think about that comes with that experience like ... (dust... did I mention dust?... and loud equipment because (7) of the tile broke and guess what... the color could not be matched so... I had them put white replacement tile in then refinished the tile surround to a uniform color... somebody yell amen or something!) :) 
I don't want to ever be a burden on my customers! I know I will loose some work to others that say no he did it wrong... we can replace it... but keep in mind I too have replaced drains since I started doing this in 1992 It did not happen to me until 2004 and I don't know how I could have "done it wrong" because it literally screws in and unscrews to come out. I am sure there are handy men out there that can replace them too... I personally would only allow a plumber to remove the drain and replace it. I hope my experience saves you money!! ..

I was 12 years old. My oldest brother made sure I was in church just about every Sunday. The building is still there but a different church occupies it now. I consider my self non denominational today but this particular church brought together people of every race! We had the most delicious country meals ever prepared by the ladies of the Church. Sunday, after church us kids would play and they would set up picnic tables. I can't help but smile when I Look back on those days that seem like a lifetime ago, yet are memories that I truly hope I will never, ever forget.
I was presented this Bible the Sunday after I was Baptized. The lyrics of the song "If that isn't love" really speaks volumes about the feeling that I have this very moment as I type this:
He left the splendor of heaven
Knowing His destiny
Was the lonely hill of Golgotha
There to lay down His life for me
And if that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can't fly
Yeah if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love
Even in death He remembered
The thief hanging by His side
Then he spoke of love and compassion
And He took him to paradise
=================================================================
Father in heaven, I ask for those reading this to be blessed with an abundance so magnificent they will think back to this simple post as the point they remembered a turn around. Not to think of me, nor my Company. Father I only ask they remember you and what power and Glory you have commanded.
 I pray this Nation remember the Cross destroyed racial tensions, only man keeps it alive. We are all Brothers and Sisters with the blood of Christ in us. Bonding us as Unique Individuals but ... yet sharing all important characteristics. With the minor details of skin, hair, eye color being not a difference.... but a unique attribute to our individuality. This Nation Needs the Cross as a reminder that Christ loved equally. Amen.

The Gentleman today took advantage of the Spring Special. He was able to get the Gold Package  Refinishing (my best package) this is a limited time special through June. His bathtub had been refinished before and needed some extra work. However, being self employed I am not stuck to a specific price list and I could tell by the pictures it needed a good sanding rather then completely stripped off. Other refinishers wanted to charge him $200 to strip the tub plus $400 to refinish it. I'm not suggesting that is unfair or too much. That is a fair price. If I operated a large company with overhead I would have to do the same thing. However, My choice is to do the work myself, keep my overhead low and save my customers a few Hundred $$$ when possible.

The only way an Owner / Operated small business can really stay in business is by doing great work. I need you to love the work so much you tell your friends and Family about me! To be honest with you,I can't afford some big marketing campaign. So it's a win / win situation... you want a great job, I know if I provide a great job you will tell others! I have been very blessed with complete strangers helping me out by telling others about me. Please don't think for a second that I don't appreciate it!
Dallas Bathtub Refinishing

Bathtub refinishing is a lot more then painting a bathtub, tile, shower or vanity with epoxy paint. Bathtub Refinishing also called bathtub resurfacing is the process of penetrating the old surface and chemically welding a new surface into the old. This is completed through the use of specialized chemicals and tools. Never should true bathtub refinishing involve epoxy paint.
As you can see in the picture below, the surface is first etched then coated with 5- 7 layers of synthetic porcelain which contains liquid glass. This gives a very tough surface that will last upwards of 20 years if properly taken care of. Dallas Bathtub Services
