Reglazing
When ProTech Repair & Restoration, Inc., reglazes your fixtures, you know you are getting the best service possible. We don't take shortcuts. We do the job right and get it all done in one day, minimizing your inconvenience and returning your fixtures to service as quickly as possible.
Here are the steps we take:
- Strip out the old caulk from around the tub, unscrew the overflow plate and remove drain (when possible).
- Set-up our powerful negative ventilation system, chemically clean the tub and lightly sand it.
- Remove the drain cover, clean and sand the area.
- Acid etch the tub removing the old finish leaving it dull and ready to prime. This step is key!
- Repair chips using a special patching compound, usually 100% free of additional cost.
- Sand and blend the patched areas and sterilize the entire tub.
- Painstakingly mask off the entire room including the floor.
- Set-up our hot turbine air compressor and remote air supply.
- Mix our 3-part chemical primer including a powerful bonding agent designed to bond to ceramic.
- Spray 2-3 coats of primer and allow it to dry.
- Tac-cloth and smooth the tub and install your free glazed-in anti-slip grip base.
- Mix our 2-part topcoat consisting of a catalyst and resign, let it induct and prepare to spray the topcoat.
- Spray the tub giving you a total of six or more coats leaving you with amazing like-new results.
- Clean up and remove the masking and pack up our equipment.
- Caulk the tub and replace any hardware that was removed.
