EASY STEPS FOR BATHTUB RESURFACING

1. Atlantic Bath and Kitchen resurfacing process begins with bathtub scraping to remove large pieces of damaged bathtub surfaces.

2. This is followed by washing and applying solvents to the bathtub repair surface. 

3. An etching process is then used followed by a neutralizing solution and then bathtub sanding to smooth out the surface. 

4. Solvents and neutralizers are applied a second time to complete the preparation stages, followed by the undercoat and two to three coats of bathtub surface coats.
When your tub or shower is finished, the surface will be smooth, glossy, and non-porous. In fact, it will meet and exceed all of the original manufacturer’s specifications for stain and acid resistance. 

If you are trying to sell your home, the shiny tub will surely be a plus in any potential buyer’s eyes! They will probably think it is brand-new!

Follow these common sense cleaning procedures and your refinished bathtub will stay beautiful looking for 10 to 15 years or more.
