Securing Your Tub Threshold

Often we come across a tub that has been converted for folks that have limited mobility. The threshold

may be too high for them to step over. There are several companies that do these conversions, but it may be difficult to determine which company will do the best job. Well, we suggest that whomever you choose, make sure they are licensed and insured, just like Tuff Tub Refinishing.

Securing Thresholds – weighing out the options

Some thresholds are limited in the weight they can bear. So, when that weight is excessive, they may crack.  At Tuff Tubs, our skilled technicians can completely reinforce the threshold. Even better, we repair any cracks in the process. In addition, we match the color and blend so that a full refinish isn’t necessary. Since we are not out to make a quick buck or up sell, we customize for your specific needs.

Securing Thresholds – weighing out the process

As you can see from the pictures, our process is detailed yet simple for securing your tub threshold.

1. Assess the issue. Obviously, we see here that the threshold is cracked.
2. Repair the damage. We not only remove the structural compromising cracking, we go that extra step. Bu making the surface flush, we match the contours of the bathtub, shower, sink, our countertop.

Fresh Sink Refinish

One of the least expensive ways to freshen up your kitchen is to refinish your sink. Under-mount sinks are

difficult to remove without damaging the surrounding tile. This is why a fresh sink refinish may be the most cost effective solution.

The Fresh Sink Refinish Method

When Tuff Tub refinishes a sink, we first etch the surface with a strong acid. Thankfully, this acid is safe for all plumbing. Then we sand and grind out any rust. Once the rust is removed, small recessed areas may be left so we fill those areas with a marine grade filler and smooth down. Next, we mask off any hardware and the surrounding tile or countertop. Lastly, we spray two coats of epoxy primer, followed by two coats of our polyurethane coating. We aim for a slick and shiny finish. When we are done, virtually nothing wants to stick to this surface!

Four Things To Remember

1. We only spray coatings so the surface will not be as robust as the porcelain surface you had before.
2. Due to the microscopic scratches it might leave behind, you should not use any abrasive cleansers on a fresh sink refinish. Think of what you would use on your automobile’s paint job. No harsh chemicals are necessary. A non-abrasive dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge are all that’s needed. What a relief!
3. Wipe out your sink after each use. That way, water spots won’t collect on the surface and your sink will maintain its shine and luster.
4. Protect the surface with hard plastic trays in the basins to prevent pots and pans damaging the bottom of your fresh sink refinish coating.

Following these pointers should extend the lifespan of your sink. Tuff Tub Refinishing offers a one-year warranty on our fresh sink refinish projects. The warranty covers any bubbling, lifting or peeling under normal wear and normal conditions. Although chips can occur, we can repair them for a small fee.

 

Here is a testimonial from one of our latest customers:

"Arlan was on time, professional, informative and guaranteed his work. His installer, Henry, did a great job and I highly recommend them both!!"

Choosing Your Refinishing Color Scheme

Often times at Tuff Tub, we are asked to refinish everything in white. We usually use a bright white, which is pretty standard in the industry. Strange as it might seem, white can come in a lot of different shades. Thus, bright white may become more than you bargained for. You might want to consider a different refinishing color scheme.

Sunglasses In Your Bathroom?

This is especially true if you are refinishing the surround, bathroom sink, and vanity. You may need to replace your light bulbs with a lower wattage or even wear sunglasses! It seems simple to us, getting blinded in your own bathroom is unnecessary and silly.😉

A Better Idea

This is why, a simpler and overlooked solution is to be more specific with your refinishing color scheme. Bathtubs usually look good and clean when they are refinished in white. Indeed, they will often compliment other bathroom fixtures such as your toilet and sink basin. Although this might be uniform and blend well, it could be an aesthetic nightmare. However, what if you created some intentional contrast at some natural lines or angles in order to add some depth? Perhaps a speckled brown sand surround to compliment the sparkling white tub? You might be surprised at how much more pleasant your bathroom experience could be.

At Tuff Tub, we have a large assortment of contrasting colors, textures and patterns to compliment your white. So you can achieve the bathroom you envision, our team is here to walk you through those steps to customize your refinishing color scheme. In addition, bathtub refinishing can cost hundreds or even thousands less than a new bathroom remodel. We follow all CA regulations for safe products and exceed our customers expectations with our care filled service. Maybe now is the time to get away from the sanitized hospital look and get creative!
