Shower Refinishing In Fullerton

We recently traveled to Fullerton to tackle a gnarled tile shower. Not only was the tile out of date, but it was as if an earthquake had rocked the shower! Indeed, there were huge cracks on the shower floor, step down and wall-to-floor joint (see left). A shower refinishing project is born.

Shower Refinishing – The Good News

Yet, we see this all time at Tuff Tub Refinishing. No need to replace the shower. Simply put, we repaired the cracked tiles, then performed a shower refinishing that made it look like new!

Shower Refinishing – The Grind To the Glory

The basic process is pretty straightforward: we etched the surface with acid, wet sanded the surface, and then coated. Yet, here are the details:

1. After we ground out the area and made irregularities uniform, we filled it with marine grade filler and fiberglass gel.
2. Etched and wet sanded the tile and wiped down with either 100% alcohol.
3. Sprayed on two coats of epoxy primer.
4. Added two coats of our polyurethane coating.

All shower coatings are essentially waterproof, this eliminates the issues that come with uncoated tiles. Additionally, you have the option to have us remove and replace the shower door for a nominal fee. With a "new" shower refinishing like this, why not go all the way and update the dingy shower slider door!

"We had Tuff Tub come out to refinish our surround tub unit in a rental condo. Henry was the technician and Arland is the owner. They were responsive and the end result was an awesome job. The overall process took about 4 hours and our bathroom now looks like we had a remodel. Henry was so nice and very accommodating. He was very neat and took pictures when he was done and sent them to us. I would highly recommend this company. They definitely deserve 5 stars." (Yelp review)

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!

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.

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?

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!

Tuff Tubs has the right system for your needs, guaranteed. Not only that, we are committed to personalized customer care.
