Dallas Bathtub Refinishing Reviews

Too many peeling and flaking bathtubs and tile surfaces are still being seen on a weekly basis. Dallas bathtub refinishing reviews the refinishing process for consumers.

Dallas Bathtub Refinishing Reviews Paints

There are always mistakes that can happen and rare issues that fall under an honest mistake. However, in the Dallas TX area I am seeing more and more painted bathtubs that are producing paint chips that are coming off in the bath water and peeling paint that is clogging the bathtub and shower drains. We need to discuss why this is happening and how the educated consumer can know what they are getting for the money.
So many consumers are simply over whelmed with misinformation about bathtub refinishing (also known as bathtub resurfacing or bathtub reglazing). Most consumers think bathtub refinishing is the process of cleaning the bathtub surface. Possibly using some steel wool on the surface, then painting the surface with epoxy or urethane paint. I want to assure you that is not how bathtub refinishing is suppose to be accomplished. Please take a second to review our bathtub refinishing process and you will see the difference between bathtub painting and bathtub refinishing. Epoxy and Acrylic Urethane paints that other refinishers are using are water resistant paint. They were never made for bathtub, tile and shower refinishing that comes in direct contact with water! You can only imagine why these paints wear thru or wrinkle when in a hot water environment on a daily basis. These inferior paints are being applied to surfaces and under conditions on which they were never intended for.

Dallas Bathtubs Refinishing Reviews Our Process

Dallas bathtub services uses a synergistic process that makes the very first step just as important as the second, third and each step thereafter. Not only is it just as important, The final result could not be achieved with out each of these steps. Everything from etching the surface using a spun fiber disc that operates at over 2600 RPM so the pores are opened and microscopic scratches are made in the old surface. This step is crucial for the molecular bonding agent to penetrate beneath the old surface. The bonding agent has nothing to do with an epoxy primer but instead is a chemical developed by the aerospace industry called silane. There are qualities of silane that are very low quality and very, very high quality. I use the highest quality Silane available because that is the product that gets the job done right! Silane is a very important part of the refinishing process in it's own right. It reacts with moisture (which will help you understand why it was developed by the aerospace industry). I will get back to the Dallas bathtub refinishing review in just a second but let me explain the importance of high quality Silane. Imagine you have a high altitude aircraft, you know what happens if you put a glass or metal container in the refrigerator for a few hours then set it on the table at room temperature right? Condensation forms. Now fill that same container with warm liquid and that condensation forms real quick and you began to stick paper towels under the container to absorb that water! If you don't your wife will have you standing out in the back yard enjoying your beverage ... (that's my personal experience it may or may not apply to you:). Now imagine the aircraft with wind and altitude causing the condensation on the structure... That paint is going to peel right off because the codensation has formed between the paint and substrate that was painted. This is what happens to the bathtub or shower that has been painted too! So going back to the first of this paragraph this is why Dallas bathtub refinishing etches the surface, then applies very high quality (and yes expensive) Silane. After the cleaning procedures, and the etching and silane the very last thing is a Factory color copolymer coating infused with polyester and silicone resin that is made for bathtub, shower, tile, sink and vanity refinishing! Remember earlier I said paints are water resistant... well, this is a water proof coating that is made to be submersed 365 days a year, 24 hours per day without damage!

So you are getting a water proof surface, made specifically for bathtub refinishing that is rated for submersion 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year etched into the the old surface, so it bonds beneath the surface and chemically welded into the old surface.
