Resurfacing Fixtures |
A resurfaced tub or basin can be a treasure; therefore it requires a bit more caution and care. Non-abrasive cleaners should be used; colored bubble bath and hair dye should be avoided.
All resurfacing companies use a similar material: An epoxy resin or polymer with properties similar to fiberglass. Durability is first contingent on the preparation before applying the material, which is directly related to the person doing the work. In all cases, the material needs to be applied to a clean , dry surface. Using a heat lamp after application does not make for a more durable surface; it is strictly a sales tool.
There can be merit to acid washing the surface before applying the material to make sure that it is totally clean. There are many ways to clean a surface; all require time and elbow grease. Dry is the next key ingredient in any formula. The care and coverage of the material is the last - but equally important- ingredient in a successful resurface job. No dust, lint , or hair should land in the material. This is, in essence, a high-tech paint job. Toilets cannot be resurfaced on the inside; standing water in the bowl will cause the material to lift and peel. The kitchen sink gets used and abused in ways that the material will not tolerate.
