Bathtub Refinishing Garland Tx.

11/18/2016

Today was the first day I was actually cold at work!

I met a wonderful Lady out by Firewheel Mall in Garland she had a crack in her Cultured Marble bathtub and it was about 2ft long and had another crack coming up the side. Because cultured marble is crushed limestone and fiberglass resin I was able to etch the surface, then applied the molecular bonding agent followed by a fiberglass resin injected into the cracks. This was then cured with heat. Followed by additional molecular bonding agent and then topped with synthetic porcelain. She was very appreciative of the work and I too appreciated having the work! (That is a win, win situation :) ) I posted a couple of pictures below and by taking advantage of my November Special she was able to save over $200.00!

dallasbathtubservices.business.site/Bathtub Refinishing procedures will also work very well on other surfaces such as bathroom vanities and bathroom tile refinishing. The process is actually the same as it would be for porcelain bathtub refinishing. The bathroom tile will first need to be chemically cleaned to remove all soap residue. The bathtub or shower tile will then need to have a hand rubbed solution of a molecular bonding agent that is worked into the pores and microscopic scratches created during the etching process. After this the finish coat is synthetic porcelain which is applied the the bathtub or shower tile using a specialized sprayer called an h.v.l.p. sprayer. Unlike the ones used for car painting. The h.v.l.p. used for bathtub, tile, shower and vanity refinishing only produces about 2 pounds of heated air. The air is heated to ensure there is not any water vapor being accumulated from the room air and put into the actual spray.

Dallas Bathtub Refinishing | Merry Christmas

Hello! Welcome to another addition of Old Man Chronicals. This is were I talk about how I snap, crackle and pop after doing (4) refinishing projects in one home :) It's terrible, I mean my knees are cracking.. Back is popping... I find myself praying constantly and I mean quality short prayers like "Father, please help me up these stairs" :)
Okay, Okay ... it's not that bad yet but In all honesty I could feel it in the lower back after this Project! However, the family was sooooooo nice! Very appreciative of the work and Prettiest little dog that went from barking at me to greeting me everytime I came in the door from a trip to the truck! I absolutely loved doing the work for this family!

The first bathtub I completed for them was a jetted bathtub made of cultured marble and a shower pan that was Fiberglass. These two Fixtures had the "just can't get it to look clean" problem. It happens because of surface scratches and the great news is that refinishing these fixtures, if truly refinished and not simply painted will be a permanent solution for the worn out problem. I posted the Pictures below. Dallas Bathtub Refinishing

Bathtub Refinishing Dallas Tub Restoration

I met a real nice older Gentleman today. The request he had for his 1950's era bathtub was, to be very honest the first time I heard it! He asked if I could do the bathtub in a low gloss look. The Bathtub had repairs it was rusted around the drain, it even had some pitting in the bottom of the tub. He wanted the tub to look good but did not want it to stand out as being new. So against all of my training I set out to give him a nice smooth surface with a low gloss as requested. I posted a couple of after pictures below. I really felt that if he would have allowed me to fully restore the bathtub it would have made the entire bathroom look better. However, The customer knew what he wanted and he was extremely happy.
