What to do before Dallas bathtub refinishing arrives 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, a 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. Dallas Area Bathtub Resurfacing in Dallas TX Also to share my misfortune with you (maybe my expense can save you!) I refinished my (2) bathtubs at my house in 2004 I removed the drain out of my master tub, not putting much pressure on it honestly but I followed the directions on the drain removal tool (which went 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 great 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. 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!! ..

August 19, 1984 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. Dallas Bathtub Refinishing Services in Dallas TX Bathtub Refinishing Dallas Differences As a consumer I completely understand how bathtub refinishing may be something that you have not really heard of or may know very little about. I always try to put myself in my customers shoes. I wanted to take a minute on this gorgeous Friday morning the good Lord has blessed us with to simply go over some questions that I am often asked. Does bathtub and Tile Refinishing work? I think this translates to "does refinishing last?" YES! this has not always been the case but please keep in mind any industry that money can be made in technology will produce better and better results. The epoxy paint kits that are sold are 1990's technology. Epoxy has not been an accepted coating in the bathtub and tile refinishing Industry since 2002 or 2003. During that time of the Epoxy paint (Yes, I have used my fair share of it) was strictly for Apartments and Hotels. It was a quick fix, had a painted look but it still looked okay, it would yellow if strong bleach was used and it was a paint. This meant it was painted on top of the old surface. Since it was painted on top of the old surface It would peel.
Dallas Bathtub Aces This is why technology went into developing a coating that could perform as close to porcelain as possible. Not just a coating was developed but a process, a synergistic process that works by building on the step before. A bathtub and tile refinishing pro will know that each step must be completed. However, when the steps are completed the end result is a product that has the same lifespan as a new porcelain bathtub which is 20+ years! Bathtub Refinishing Dallas Price List Bathtub Refinishing Garland,Dallas As an owner / Operated business it becomes very important to stay in the local area that I live in. I live in Rockwall and my wife and I actually just moved to Mesquite over by Lowes off Galloway and Hwy. 30. My father is 85 and mom and Dad live in old Mesquite so we are only about 6 minutes away from them in case they need anything. You know Important things like... The yard mowed, A Hamburger, or maybe the conversation about how the same squirrel eats the bird seed every morning between 7 and 8 AM!
It reminds me of when I was a kid, playing in the back yard. I would hear my name and I knew better then to say "What?" because that reply always got the reply of "if I wouldn't have wanted you I wouldn't have called you" LOL! So I would run in only to change the channel on the big Zennith T.V. Dad had in the Living Room! I was so excited when we got our first remote control!! However, back then the Cable still had the A and B switch so I would go running in so Dad could see what was on the "A" channels.... then the "B" channels! That's o.k. though because I know I am blessed to have mom and Dad around in their 80's and I would not have it any other way!

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 fluoropolymer bonded with silane coupling agent. This gives a very tough surface that will last upwards of 20 years if properly taken care of.
