Bathtub is the key element of washrooms. They are offered in diverse assortment and everybody may select the model that absolutely matches the interior and meets personal demands. But all tubs lose their attractiveness over years despite the price, characteristics and other factors.
Of course, replacement is rather ‘painful’ process. Foremost it needs time and money spending. An apartment will be put in chaos and moreover that is huge problem to select the right tub model.
Fortunately nowadays there offered the innovative service that allows resurfacing of a tub. Its surface is covered by special material and becomes like a new one. Contemporary market offers different substances for resurfacing. There may be chosen the following paint types:
· epoxy paint (This material is two-component that is rather effective. Durability of refinished surface is up to 9 years. Complete drying takes from 24 to 48 hours);
· acrylic paint (Demands previous polishing and filling material using. Less effective than epoxy paint but still rather durable – about 5-7 years).
Bathtub resurfacing products should be purchased from official representatives of the producer in order to be convinced in their quality.
The coating is the heart of any resurfacing job, and choosing the right one is what separates a finish that lasts from one that fails. In professional bathtub refinishing we work primarily with two high-performance chemistries: epoxy and acrylic-based systems. Epoxy primers and bonding coats grip the original surface aggressively, sealing porcelain and cast iron with a hard, adhesive foundation that resists moisture penetration — the key to durable bathtub reglazing that won't peel or bubble.
Acrylic and acrylic-urethane topcoats bring the finish. They cure to a smooth, glass-like sheen that's non-porous, stain-resistant and easy to clean, holding their gloss through years of daily use. Combining an epoxy base with an acrylic topcoat gives us the best of both: strong adhesion below and a beautiful, wear-resistant surface on top. That same pairing powers our tub refinishing as well as tile reglazing and sink refinishing, where the surface faces constant water and cleaning products.
Cheap single-part paints skip this chemistry and pay for it with early failure. Our professional-grade epoxy and acrylic systems are chosen and applied for real bathroom conditions, which is why our porcelain reglazing and countertop refinishing keep their finish long after a bargain job would have chipped. The right paint isn't a detail — it's the whole difference.
