Deep Clean Your Tub


Not everything needs refinishing! Perhaps, just a deep clean. That may sound weird coming from a bathtub refinishing company. But, here at Tuff Tub Refinishing, we are committed to providing our customers with what they actually need. We do not try to up-sell or give low ball estimates.

A Good Old-Fashioned Deep Clean 

Many times we are able to save our customers money with a simple deep clean of neglected tile or tub surfaces. Here in Orange County, CA, many of us suffer from hard water. Unfortunately, our water has a high concentration of lime and calcium. In other words, it's the white stuff and water spots left behind on your shower glass when the water evaporates. Over time, these deposits can really become an eyesore. Abrasive cleansers like Ajax and comet will not remove them entirely. This is where Tuff Tubs steps in.

Quite often we can deep clean and restore the shine and luster for a fraction of the cost to refinish. You are already saving $1000's with a reglaze instead of a new bathroom – so this is truly a bonus!


A Good Old-Fashioned Company

Give Tuff Tub a call and see if we may have a non-refinishing solution for your fiberglass, porcelain or ceramic surface. We use industry standard, professional products, and are certified tub refinishing, reglazing, resurfacing installers. We can also do a deep clean on showers, sinks, countertops, and jacuzzi tubs!

Here it is, straight from the mouth of  a recent satisfied customer:

"My mom used Arlan to refinish her 40 year old tub.  She said he was professional, on time, informative and guaranteed his work.  She was impressed with his installer, Henry.  He was also on time, kind and did a great job.  She would highly recommend both Arlan and Henry!"

San Clemente Cast Iron Bathtub Repair

 Is your bathtub cracking? At Tuff Tub Refinishing, every day we run into cast iron tubs that have become brittle over time. If your bathtub deteriorates for too long, the cost to repair or strip the entire tub may be involved. Thankfully, if you see any of these signs of wear or just want a fresh look, Tuff Tubs can provide an expert cast iron bathtub repair that lasts.

Bathtub Repair In San Clemente

This cast iron bathtub repair process was as easy as 1-2!

Repair. First, we chipped off the loose porcelain on a cast iron bathtub. Next, we filled it in with several applications of marine grade filler. Finally, we grinded and sanded the tub edge to match the contour. 

Coating. After our final spray of sealer, this San Clemente cast iron bathtub repair project was complete!

FYI. If a crack develops in the porcelain and it’s deep enough to go down to the cast iron, water can get into the crack and start rusting which will cause the porcelain to start separating.

Like these happy customers, you may not want us to refinish the entire tub, but just get close with our standard white. 

If your tub needs a full re-haul, here is our basic five step bathtub repair.

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

Repair. Next up, the cast iron tub repair. We apply our industrial strength filler and sand it smooth with a high speed grinder. Not only does this encourage a super flush surface, it also is an eye catcher as well!

Etching. For the sake of bonding, we etch the shower surface with an eco-friendly stain. Consequently, this achieves a porous surface to bond final sealer, producing a watertight seal. This important step in cast iron tub repair is performed precisely.

Primer and Coating. Fourth, we apply multiple coats of waterproofing paint sealer. As a result, you get a "new" bathtub!

  4. Create a support and backing system. First, we use resin and fiberglass or wire mesh. Then fill in any irregularities with more fiberglass gel or marine grade filler. Tuff Tubs are strong and waterproof.
  5. Sand everything smooth. Aesthetic appeal is a bonus!

Shimmering Sink Refinish

Last post we talked about our ritzy bathtub refinishing of a clawfoot tub in Corona Del Mar. Here is part two of our project report. Not only did the tub need an overhaul, but so did the sinks. Like bathtubs, there is a way to restore your sink to what it used to be. Rest assured, the Tuff Tubs crew are well-rounded in their skill set! At Tuff Tub Refinishing, we take pride in a shimmering sink refinish. For those who new to the refinishing world, let's give a quick breakdown of what we mean by "sink refinish."

Overview 

Achieving a shimmering sink refinish process is a simple but precise process. Since here can be high costs when replacing sinks, the sink refinishing industry has developed. It not only saves hundreds to thousands of dollars. Also, it keeps your kitchen or bathroom project from becoming an unusable disaster! At Tuff Tubs, we make sure our services are in and out, so you can get in and enjoy your bathroom. Not only that, but you can start using your "like new" sink in less than a day.



5 Steps To A Shimmering Sink Refinish

When it comes to the sink refinishing process, there are five basic steps. 

1. Acid etch. Our eco-friendly etch creates a uniform bonding area for your porcelain. This is so that we can properly adhere the primer coatings. 

2. Fill in the cracks. Chips are filled with fiberglass gel and sanded  smooth. It is crucial to perform proper surface repair in order to create a shimmering sink refinish. Thus, we ensure that this will be a watertight sink finish masterpiece.

3. Mask off area. As a preliminary precaution, an important step is masking off the project area. Our workspaces are clean, tidy, and efficient. 

4. Epoxy primer. Thoroughness is one reason we are so Tuff. In order to achieve uniformity, two coats of primer are applied. If you are changing the color of your sink, this is even more crucial.

5. Polyurethane resin. Finally, your color coating of choice is our pleasure!

It is no plunge to take with a Tuff Tubs shimmering sink refinish project! In fact, it is simple, cost-effective, and efficient. We want you to have a "new" sink when you need it! At Tuff Tub Refinishing, we also offer a up to five year warranties!

Ritzy Refinishing In Corona Del Mar

Tuff Tub Refinishing can swab 'yer deck and refinish ye' ole' tub! Even for those living the life in Corona Del Mar, the benefits of keeping that classic clawfoot are secured with our ritzy refinishing tub repair and reglazing process. Of late, we restored a bathtub and some sinks at Crystal Cove Cottages.

Ritzy Clawfoot Tub Repair

Unfortunately, this clawfoot tub was just about sunk. Thankfully, they called Tuff Tubs. With us it is a simple, intuitive process: etch, eradicate, energize.

ritzy refinishing _ before

ERADICATE. First, we remove rust. Then, we sand down the edges of the old surface. Of course, this helps with bonding properties and smoothing out the bathtub. After the damaged tub sections are repaired, we fill the holes with watertight resin. We then sand it down again to insure a flush surface. Thus, we are ready for etching.

ETCH. Etching creates bond and a level surface. It is crucial to preserve the porcelain, because after you paint, there is no going backward.

ritzy refinishing _ etch

ENERGIZE. To clarify, painting accomplishes two main goals. Most importantly, it provides a watertight seal. Two, it gives you the aesthetical appeal. Why do you want to keep ye' ole' clawfoot? Because a ritzy clawfoot tub adds a charm and elegance that allows for a relaxing escape in a bubble bath. A ritzy refinishing tub repair by the experts at Tuff Tubs is your solution to drowning in a rusty wreck o' a tub!

3 Dangers Of DIY Tub Reglazing

Perhaps, you are a go-getter when it comes to DIY projects? Penny pincher? Maybe, too confident? At Tuff Tub Refinishing, this is precisely what we see happening with bathtub repair. Time and time again, over zealous folks think they can attempt DIY projects, and end up paying way more when we have to come in to fix a messed up job. As a result, we consistently see 3 dangers of DIY tub reglazing. 


Dangers Of DIY Tub Reglazing

  1. Surfaces not properly etched. Importantly, this is the primary and foundational issue that DIY optimists miss.
  2. Surfaces not sanded properly. Even if an etch is attempted, the residue is often not removed. Sadly, this can lead to bonding issues.
  3. Surfaces not prepped and masked off. This is crucial to achieve a uniform tub reglazing coat.

Solution

One, surfaces need professional etching. This includes, using industrial grade acid to properly etch ceramic tile and porcelain tub surface.


Two, surfaces need sanding to remove residue of the etching process. In the long run, this allows for a better bond.

Three, surfaces need prepping and masking. Additionally, the material needs to be applied with a HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) system. This ensures that most of the material goes on the tub and less material gets airborne. Therefore, less overspray is achieved.

We see more and more folks calling us after they try a DIY tub reglazing kit. Unfortunately, it adds about $300 additional dollars to strip off the old paint, because we can’t spray over a bad job. At Tuff Tubs, we can save you thousands of dollars over the cost of a new bathtub install. If you forestall the DIY gusto, we can save you hundreds. Thankfully, our products are eco-friendly. Our technicians are polite and professional. Basically, we are in and out. As a bonus, we offer limited warranties on our craftsmanship.

Call us today for a free over the phone estimate, and forego the dangers of DIY tub reglazing.

Tub Floor Fix

 Recently we came across a tub where the support under the floor had become unstable. What to do... Tuff Tub Refinishing can answer your question with a resounding no! Bathtub repair and refinishing are great options to achieve a like new bathtub, shower, or sink.

Bathtub Repair 

Procedure


Recently, we tackled just such a tub floor fix.

This tub was in need of much help. Thankfully, Tuff Tubs was on the scene in no time. We have a basic 1-2 punch for our tub floor fix procedure: repair and reseal.

Repair 

We had to cut out the floor from the delaminating portion of the tub (see crack on the left). Then, we troweled in a filler and reattached the floor. Next, we sanded the edges of the old surface. In fact, 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 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 floor fix project is ready for use in a few short days.

3 Keys For Choosing A Bathtub Reglazing Company

You have made the decision to go the bathtub reglazing route. So, what next? How do you choose the right


company. At Tuff Tub Refinishing, we get it. Let's walk through a few important points to consider when choosing a bathtub reglazing company!

Which One?

You do not need to replace your bathtub, shower, sink or countertop. With advanced technology in bathtub refinishing methods, you can save thousands of dollars.

Even if you have cracks, rust, or holes in your tub, shower, countertop or sink – a bathtub reglazing company can help fix it. Here are three key ideas to consider when choosing:



  1. Licensed and insured. If the company is not trained professionally and insured, it could mean a lot of headaches in the long run.
  2. Cheapest is not best. There are two ways of looking at the word "cheap": less costly and low quality. Many companies will lowball quote to get their foot in the door. They might not have the proper skills, or be licensed and insured. Perhaps, they might hit you with "extra" costs on the backend.
  3. DIY. With the surge of online instructional videos and the bulging amount of knowledge, many folks think they can do just as good as the experts – with a spray gun, a sander, and a you tube video! Do you really want to potentially ruin your tub, just to save a few bucks? Think of the time you will have to take off, and the low likelihood that the hardware store "tub in a can" will actually work.


Rugged Art

At Tuff Tub Refinishing, we are artisans. Committed to proper products and procedure, our technicians are certified experts. They keep up with the latest technology and techniques. This is so that they can work with your budget and specific needs.  Throughout the process, we know what we are doing, and why we are dong it.

Promise

Call us today for a free over the phone estimate. Then, your shower, tub, sink, or countertops can personally benefit from our  expertise! We are your Orange County local bathtub reglazing company!

tub refinishing repair_ afterOur tub refinishing repair process is as easy as 1-2-3!

  1. Repair. Grinding out cracks, rust, and any other unnecessary debris is our speciality. We sand down all the surfaces to get to the root problem and to achieve a proper bond. Using either fiberglass gel or cloth, we insure a watertight seal (up to 5 years!).
  2. Prime. After repair, we tape off everything to avoid overspray. Applying our bonder primer, this prepares for the final paint sealer.
  3. Paint. Once the primer is dry, we spray on our waterproof polyurethane paint sealer – your color choice. A beautiful tub refinishing repair is part of the package!

Peeling Tub? No Problem!



A peeling tub is not a problem for the boys at Tuff Tubs!

Our latest project was a cast iron tub restoration. It had old coating that was peeling off. Leave it to Tuff Tubs to strip off the peeling paint and perform a masterful bathtub refinish.

Peeling Tub – Prep

As you can see with this old cast iron tub, its paint job has seen better days. The first step in tub reglazing is to prep for the primer. With peeling paint, we sand down the old surface. This allows it to have bonding properties and to smooth out the bathtub. This peeling tub is no match for our prep skills!

Peeling Tub – Prime

After all the repairs are complete, we move to the priming step. This covers over anything that is not flush. It also preps the bathtub, shower, sink or countertop for the paint. A peeling tub that is primed for success!

Peeling Tub – Paint

The paint serves two purposes. One, it gives a watertight seal. Two, it gives you a voice. Your choice of color makes you the king or queen of your bathroom! A beautiful tub, sink, countertop, or shower adds aesthetics that will keep you coming back for more of that relaxing bubble bath or decompressing shower. Tuff Tub Refinishing is your solution to a peeling tub!

Check out the final product. Gorgeous! We can be in and out in a few hours. Your newly reglazed tub or shower is ready for use in a few short days. We use eco-friendly products and provide friendly service to match. Call us to today for a free over-the-phone estimate. Let us give you a tuff tub for the thousands less than a buying new!

Scrubbin' Tubs

Are you tired of scrubbing your old bathtub? Do you have ghetto-like rust stains? Are your shower tiles' grout full of unseemly mildew and mold? At Tuff Tub Refinishing, we scrub tubs so you don't have to replace yours.

scrubbin' tubs_beforeTubs-the sands of time

Years of daily use will eventually wear down the surface of tubs. Water collects around drains, thus the dreaded rust ring. The hard water coming from bath and shower heads is like sand. It slowly scrapes away the coating. Adding chemically enhanced soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions only expedites the process.

Tubs-scrubbin' time

At Tuff Tub Refinishing, we take care of it all. We prep your tubs, showers, tiles, and sinks for resurfacing. Removal of caulking, mineral deposits, and other debris is no problem. We perform repairs as well. We can even remove bath tub and shower doors to make sure your reglazing project is spotless. We sand down any imperfections to achieve a porous bond. You are then ready for the beautiful coating.

Tubs-coating time

Scrubbin' Tubs_afterAfter the surface is fully prepared for the coating process, we start the etch. This goes a step further than the initial sand down. We use eco-friendly chemicals to achieve the strongest bond with existing tubs and coating sealer. You will simply not believe how we can transform your tired and damaged old shower, tub, sink, and tiles. They will truly look and be like new!
Put Tuff Tubs to the test, and spend your time scrubbin' your body, not your bathtub!
