Difference between
professionals and second-rate refinishing work?
Bathtub refinishing will bring back your tub's original luster on all surfaces including porcelain, fiberglass, or cultured
marble. Don’t be fooled by second-rate contractors or products on the market
that promise results but never deliver. At JLF Tub and Tile Reglazing, we offer
only the highest quality products and service, including an extensive and proven
process that provides consistent results. Our process includes:
1.
Deep
chemically cleaning of the bathtub surface, removing body oils, dirt and
debris, that if not completely removed will prevent the bond between the
surface and the new coating.
2.
Comprehensive
evaluation of the surface, checking for imperfections like chips, cracks, etc.
We make the necessary minor repairs ensuring the finish will be smooth in the
end. Preparation is key, so this step is paramount in the process.
3.
Chemically
etch porcelain surfaces, or hand sand fiberglass surfaces, ensuring the surface
will have the best adhesion to the bonding agents/primers.
4.
Mask
off and protect surrounding surfaces not being refinished.
5.
Apply
both bonding agents and topcoats to the surfaces, leaving you with a smooth, shiny
and beautiful finish that will last you for years to come.
Not all companies are the same, and not all
processes produce a quality finish. This is why it's important to hire a
professional team that ensures you will get the best bathtub refinishing job that will last for years. You can
trust the experts at JLF Tub and Tile Reglazing to provide you with a
quality and cost-effective finish every time.
