Professionals
can refinish bathtubs in any color!
Over
the course of years, your bathtub tends to lose its shine becoming hard to
keep clean and dingy looking. Maybe you accidentally chipped the enamel or
used too harsh, abrasive powdered or liquid cleaners.
There
are 2 ways to get a shiny, easy-to-clean tub again:
1.
Repair and refinish your old bathtub (in any custom color) right in
your home without removing anything
except the drain and over
flow tripper, or the costly alternative;
2.
Tear out the old tub, part of the surrounding wall and floor tiles, all
plumbing, and often part of the bathroom wall in order to get the old tub out.
Then install a new tub, repair walls and floor, and re-tile. (Most colors in
tiles, if over 15 years old, are discontinued so exact match is quite
difficult.)
Many
plumbing, remodeling and decorating companies recommend refinishing of
bathroom fixtures over tearing them, to save their customers money and time.
Mr.
David Powell the author of the "Hidden
Bathtub" manual for refinishers and the owner of BATHTUB
MAGIC will share a few points
that may help you select a bathtub refinishing company that does the job
right.
Professional
bathtub refinisher vs. a painter?
A professional
refinisher knows exactly how to properly clean, remove hard water film
build-up, acid etch and sand the tub before spraying the new finish on your
tub. Keep in mind that the bathroom environment is often wet and humid, and
the surface must withstand different chemicals to last.
Anyone
can spray a bathtub to look shiny and nice for a few months, but the
professional tub refinisher knows how to make the new finish last for years to
come!
Who
does a job that lasts?
Before you hire a bathtub refinisher, do some background checking. Call
your local plumbing companies. They will know what kind of work the refinisher
does. Also, you may want to call your
local Better
Business Bureau
or the Consumer Affairs to find out about the company's reputation.
Don't be taken in by "Fly-By-Nighters" or inexperienced
painters, who promise "too-good-to-be-true"
prices and guarantees, and then move on to new locations in eight to eighteen
months.
