Jacuzzi Tub Reglazing

Jacuzzi tub reglazing is what we do at Tuff Tub Refinishing. Haven't you noticed, sinks and tubs can become they can become well-damaged before you realize it. The effects of daily use might either cause us to just deal with the unsightly mess, or eventually we are forced to fully replace them. However, you do not have to settle for a septic experience each time you wash your hands. You do not have to wonder what they white gunk is on your once elegant black jacuzzi tub. Even more great news–you do not have to purchase a new tub or sink! At Tuff Tubs, the solution is less expensive and nearer than you could possibly imagine! Not only do we perform jacuzzi tub reglazing, but we can also restore showers, bathtubs, tiles, and also refinish sinks!


Reglazing Tubs

A black jacuzzi tub is darn right elegant. But with Southern California hard water, black surfaces show more calcium deposits that a white surface. That is what happened in one of our latest projects.

Tubs can accumulate unsightly residue and even rust, that foil the efforts of cleansers and good ole' fashioned elbow grease. Enter Tuff Tubs. We remove the the assumption that "new is necessary" with a simple, but effective jacuzzi tub reglazing process. Repair, etch, coat: a three-part elegant piece of art that will shine!

The Tuff Jacuzzi Tubs three-part masterpiece:

  1. Repair. Grinding out cracks, rust, and any other unnecessary debris is what we do. Sanding down all the surfaces, we 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. Prep. After repair, we cover the area 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 jacuzzi tub reglazing masterpiece!



Reglazing jacuzzi tubs is our cup of tea – for the whole south Orange County region. Call us today, and we can get started right away! Give us your black sheep tub, and we will make it gleam white!

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.

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

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
