Ceramic Tile Reglazing Reglazing wall tile is an excellent remodeling option.  Whether you would just like a color change (as was the case of the project shown below) or if you've had to replace cracked tiles or make major plumbing repairs. Ceramic tile tub surrounds and tile showers and ceramic wall tile can be reglazed at a fraction of the cost of tile replacement and usually within a few hours instead of weeks. Wall tile reglazing can last for years and looks beautiful.

Proper preparation is the key to success. Our Process: (1) Caulk and overflow draincover is removed. (2) Tub is etched with hydroflouric acid to chemically sand and deep clean the porcelain.  (3) After the tub is rinsed and dried, any chips are repaired. Surrounding areas and hardware are masked off. (4) After tacking off dust particles, etc... we begin by applying a clear adhesion promoting primer, when this has dried we apply a catylized white epoxy primer, then make a final tack off for dust particles. { If  you choose to have the non-slip finish added to the floor of your bathtub - it is applied at this time} (5) The final step is to apply several coats of the Acrylic Urethane Topcoat.

The reglazing process typically takes about two to three hours to complete. Some masking will be left in place when we are done, since we dont want to accidentally bump the tub while it is curing. You may remove the masking the next day and also replace your caulk. However, the tub should not be used until forty-eight hours have passed. (see care & maintenance page)

FIBERGLASS TUB/SHOWER UNITS

Perhaps you would like a change of color, or maybe you have chips in the fiberglass or holes from removing a shower door, or it could be just getting hard to keep clean.  Fiberglass tubs and showers refinish beautifully and clean great with the new non-porous finish.

The Process:  First the unit is cleaned and wet sanded, any chips in the fiberlass are repaired.  Hardware and surrounding areas are masked. We then apply a good coat of adhesive primer, nessesary for proper adhesion of the topcoat.  After a final tack off for dust, the finish coats of acrylic urethane are applied, producing a smooth, hard finish that will last for many years.

The process takes about three hours to complete.  Some masking will be left in place when we are done, since we don't want to accidentally bump the unit while it is drying.  You may remove the masking the next day, however the tub should not be used until forty-eight hours have passed.

Fiberglass Repairs

Do you have Cracks in the bottom of your Fiberglass Tub or Shower?  We can make a permanent repair by installing a new inlay in the bottom of your tub. 

The Process:  We'll come and make a custom measurment template from your tub. If the tub is cracked to the point of leaking, we'll make this portion of the repair at that time.

We order a custom CNC cut inlay for your tub. They usually arrive in about 5 business days.  When it arrives, it only takes about 45 minutes to install the new bottom inlay, using state of the art epoxy adhesives.  Let cure for 36 hours and the tub or shower is ready for normal use. 

The inlays are available in Bone & Standard White.
