Bathtub refinishing also called resurfacing is the process of restoring a bathtub, shower or tile back to a like new condition for a fraction of the cost of replacement. Being an owner operated business I strive to stand above the rest by completing all work myself. I live and complete refinishing work in the local Dallas TX area. First a chemical cleaner will be used to remove any residue that can effect your new finish. Etching is then accomplished using a spun fiber disk that rotates at over 2600 RPM's. This is a crucial step neglected by other refinishers. I then use the chemical cleaner again to make absolutely sure the surface is free of any oils and residue. Even oils from your hand will negatively effect the new surface. Next is a molecular bonding agent hand rubbed into the pores created through the etching process. This bonding agent is a 2 part silane developed by the aerospace industry for high altitude aircraft. It works by using the condensation that occurs through the use of hot water. The condensation acts as a catalyst causing a chemical weld between the original surface and the new surface. The finish coat is a polyester coating infused with polyester and silicone resin. This is an ultra hard coating designed for the bathtub, shower and tile refinishing industry. The life expectancy is 20 plus years.

Local Dallas TX Bathtub Refinishing Since 1992
Today was another bathtub that had been refinished with Aliphatic Acrylic Urethane. This was not only a guess but a fact . The resident said this bathtub had been refinished a few weeks ago by a professional it was used 3 times for showers. He admitted that he had called me when it first needed refinishing a few weeks ago but found someone that quoted him $150 less. He was told we all use the same product. The customer admitted he had a gut feeling that is was not going to be refinished correctly because he had read my website. If you look at the video below I was able to remove the coating with just one hand as I filmed and I found soap residue under the surface. Not only was the tub coating not bonded but the surface of the tub had not been properly cleaned.
Dallas bathtub refinishing services will apply a surface that will last for years. Local Dallas Bathtub Refinishing Professional
I am a local Dallas bathtub refinishing professional after removing the old painted coating from the tub, which only took a few minutes longer than the video showed. I had to put the camera down to use both hands. As you can see in the video I am still wearing my jacket. It shocked me how easily it peeled up. Afterwards, I cleaned the tub surface and removed the soap residue, which I also show in the video. Then etched the surface with a spun fiber disk rotating at 2600 R.P.M.'s (this causes scratches and opens pores in the old surface giving it bite). I hand rubbed silane coupling agent into the pores of the old surface creating a chemical weld between the two surfaces. The last of the video shows a glossy white 100% polyester surface applied to the tub with a slip resistant resin on the tub floor.
Bathtub Refinishing and Resurfacing Dallas TX Dallas Bathtub Refinishing Fluoropolymer Coating Fluoropolymer coating is crosslinked and infused with silicone and polyester resin. Did you know the P.B.R.A. does not endorse using standard epoxy paint and Acrylic Urethane paint on bathtubs? Yet more times than not that is exactly what you are going to pay your hard earned money for. Sure it will have a warranty.. a prorated warranty which means you will still have to pay something! Bathtub Refinishing Dallas Pictures and Information What Makes Dallas Bathtub Services different? For starters I use Fluoropolymer coatings etched into the old surface and chemically welded to the old surface with silane. Have you ever heard of silane? Well, it was developed by the aerospace industry to make sure the paint bonded to high altitude planes and space equipment. Moisture will catalyze saline so it becomes even stronger after use when the surface is subjected to temperature changes and condensation forms.
It's an easy step to leave out because it is never seen... unless it's not used, then it will surely be seen as you have a peeling mess going down your bathtub! Silane is available in hundreds of different types or strengths. Some of the weaker ones are found in primer paints because it helps to seal water stains and promotes bonding. High quality Silane are hundreds of dollars per gallon! However when used and combined with the etching process you get a surface that is not only integrated into the old surface but chemically welded into the old surface. Also going back to the Fluoropolymer coating it's not paint. It would be a fair statement According to the P.B.R.A (Professional Bathtub Refinishing Association) to say the bathtub is getting a spray in tub liner since the fluoropolymer is closer to plastic than anything else. The end result is a non toxic, gorgeous surface that looks and feels like porcelain and is expected to last over 20 years with everyday use! 972-391-7994 See my Dallas TX Bathtub Refinishing Pictures Bathtub Refinishing in Dallas,Tx.
