Fixing Fiberglass Tubs

 The poor state of your fiberglass tub can be so hilarious that it is a crack up – literally. Yet, when you can no longer take a bath, because your tub looks like this:

that is no laughing matter! Fret not, you don't have demolish, detonate, or destroy! Tuff Tub Refinishing are experts at fixing fiberglass tubs.

Conquering Cracks, Fixing The Fiberglass

So then, we went on out to Dana Point Marina for this tuff job, and this is what we found.

Conquering Cracks 101 

101 is a simple as our 1–5 step fiberglass tub fixing process.

Prep. First, we remove all caulking and loose debris. This allows for tighter adhesion. By sanding and utility knives, we precisely keep the surface as smooth as possible.

Repair.  We were challenged with repair of structural issues. Certainly, this tub cracked because of a deteriorated cement base under the tub. So, we created a cement support to bolster the stability. Then, we applied out industrial strength filler and sanded it smooth with a high speed grinder.

Fixing The Fiberglass

Etching. For the sake of bonding, we etch the shower surface with an eco-friendly stain. Thus, this achieves a porous surface to which the final sealer bonded, producing a watertight seal. This important step in fixing fiberglass tubs is performed with care.

Primer and Coating. Fourth, multiple coats of waterproofing paint sealer are applied. As a result, this step gives our customers their "like new" shower!

Sealer.  When our final application of sealer is sprayed, what a beaut'! Now, that's fixing fiberglass tubs!

3 Reasons For A Flaky Tub

 Do you have a flaky tub or a shower with an unsightly peel? Sadly, tubs or showers that have been previously refinished can sometimes flake or peel off.

Reasons For A Peeling Or Flaky Tub 

flaky tub _ beforeThere are three main factors that can lead to a flaky or peeling tub.

  1. Suction cup bath mats. Unfortunately, using this helpful anti-slip grip solution can cause coating failure. Primarily, this because of mold and mildew. These intruders can accumulate on the bottom of the mat, eating right through the coating! When the mat is lifted, it causes the tub or shower floor to come up along with the mat!
  2. Improperly cleaned surface. No bond can achieve with the  coating if there is a dirt barrier.
  3. No acid-etch. If the existing glass of the porcelain is not etched-off, the primer has no surface bonding properties. Some companies use a wipe-on-primer that is designed to create a chemical bond to the shiny surface. The truth is, these primers are unreliable and have a shelf life of about 30 days once the can has been opened. Thus, it becomes unstable toward the 30 day mark.

Reliable Remedy

Tuff Tubs uses tried and true methods to knock out its flaky tub opponent with a 1-2-3 punch!

  1. Etch
  2. Two coats of epoxy primer
  3. Two to three coats of polyurethane resin

Tub Repair

Tub Repair

Your bathtub or shower has a soft spot. It starts to delaminate. Do you need a whole new tub? What to do... Tuff Tub Refinishing can answer your question with a resounding no! Tub repair and refinishing are great options to achieve a like new bathtub, shower, or sink.

Bathtub Repair – Problem?

Tub Repair Procedure

Recently, we tackled just such a tub repair project.

This bathtub was in dire need of help. Thankfully, they called Tuff Tubs. We have a basic 1-2-3 tub repair procedure: repair, reseal, repaint.

Repair to Reseal

We first cut out the delaminating portion of the tub. Then, we sanded the edges of the old surface. Of course, this helps with bonding properties and smoothing out the bathtub. After the damaged tub section was removed, we proceeded to fill the hole with watertight resin. We then sanded it down to insure a flush surface. We were then ready for priming. Priming creates bond and level surface.

Reseal to Repaint

To make things clear, the paint step accomplishes two main goals. One, it provides a watertight seal. Two, it gives you control. A beautiful tub, sink, countertop, or shower adds beauty that allows you to relax in that bubble bath or stress releasing shower. A tub repair by the experts at Tuff Tubs is your solution to a delaminating tub or shower!

Not only is our work top notch, but we are efficient and honest. In your best interests, we won't wrangle about prices or give you a line. Helpfully, we can be in and out in a few hours. Your tub repair project is ready for use in a few short days.

Please call us to today for a free over-the-phone estimate. With a tub repair, you can save thousands and get a like new bathtub, shower, or sink!
