We all have that bathroom in our home that could use a little TLC. If you’re in the Springfield area and are ready to breathe new life into your old bathtub, NU Tub is here to help. Did you know that we can refinish your tub in less time and for less money than if you replaced it? It’s true, and here are step-by-step instructions for what you can expect from our streamlined bathtub refinishing process.
Our tub transformation takes five easy steps. We usually finish a porcelain tub in around five hours, while a fiberglass tub-shower may require seven or eight hours to complete.
We start updating your tub by removing its old caulking. This initial task is key to preparing the surface for the remaining steps.
Before any refinishing work can begin, we inspect the tub for underlying issues. Then we do a deep clean to remove dirt, soap scum, or oils. This creates the best possible base for the new finish.
Etching is where the magic begins. For porcelain tubs, we use a gentle acid to etch the surface, while fiberglass units are carefully hand-sanded. This helps create a texture that allows coatings to adhere securely.
Next, we apply a specially formulated primer. The primer serves as a bonding agent for the layers of coatings. This step lays the groundwork for a durable and long-lasting finish.
Finally, we apply three layers of our modified urethane coating. Originally developed for NASA and used on the lunar rover, this durable and beautiful coating will give your tub a resilient finish that can endure regular use.
