Many homeowners today are looking at ways to update their kitchen and bath while not breaking the bank. Bathtub paint Texarkana is one possible solution, but what are these DIY kits made of the kits that you see in Lowe's home Depot and Sherwin Williams, for example, are typically a one part or two part epoxy paint that is applied to your current bathtub or wall tile surface. Usually this is a Marine grade epoxy and some of the issues that a white epoxy has over time is that in exposure to water in light, it tends to yellow and hardens and cracks.

The issues we have noticed from our DIY buyers who have called us to come and fix their bathtub are that they are not etching their bathtub. It's critical that to refinish a bathtub that an acid wash is done to open the pores in the porcelain or ceramic. So there is more surface area for the bathtub paint Texarkana to adhere to another issue we see is not wet sanding the acid dust away after an acid wash. This is important because if it's not done, the bathtub paint Texarkana will stick to the dust instead of get down into the tub surface itself and will result in a failure in as quick as three to six months, we also see some people brushing the bath tub paint Texarkana on a little bit too thick. This can lead to cracking chipping. And again, failure in the bathtub refinishing process. Some of the things that DIY homeowners have told us they were surprised about is number one, how hard it is to do and how much work goes into just cleaning and using bath tub, paint Texarkana on an old bathtub.

These DIY kits also have very strong fumes. So it's important that the correct protective gear is Warren to prevent any physical ailments resulting from the chemicals in these DIY kits. The bottom line is that by the time people cut away the old, they clean acid wash sand that bathtub and put their bathtub paint Texarkana onto their old surface. They have invested at least a day of their time and probably about 75 to $80 worth of money. If they got it right, the first time bathtub refinishing Texarkana has a much better solution for you. Our professional refinishers come out and apply a coating that is very different from the DIY epoxy coating that most stores sell. Our coating is made specifically for bathtub refinishing and is much more durable and longer lasting than a DIY kit. Our coating actually consists of two different chemicals that are applied with an HVLP spray system onto your bathtub. The first is an aerospace, epoxy primer. This is similar to the kits that you get in a Lowe's or home Depot. However, ours has a silane blend in it that helps increase adhesion to the properly etched in sanded bathtub surface. And since epoxy doesn't hold up well to light and water exposure. We top coat it to protect it with the modified acrylic urethane. This is a tough yet flexible coating that looks just like ceramic tile or porcelain. It can be bright white almond or any color that you choose. It is super easy to keep clean and can. Last for years, we offer a three-year warranty with all of our refinishing work, because we are confident that our products and processes will make your tub look great for years. Our process is a tried and true with no shortcuts, acid, etching, priming, and top coating. Many competitors out there are short-cutting two of these three steps and essentially just coming out and putting a top coat over your tub. This looks great when it's done, but doesn't have the adhesion and durability needed to give you that longevity for your refinished bathtub. [
