Imagine waking up with a stained, outdated bathtub and going to bed with one that looks like it just came from the showroom. That's not a fantasy – it's what professional refinishing delivers, and it takes about 4 hours.
The Professional Refinishing Process
Here's exactly what happens when TubRevive refinishes your bathtub:
Step 1: Deep Cleaning and Preparation (45–60 minutes)
We don't just wipe down your tub – we perform an industrial-strength deep clean that removes:
• Years of soap scum and mineral deposits
• Body oils embedded in the surface
• Mold and mildew in textured areas
• Old caulk and silicone
This step is crucial because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to bond properly.
Step 2: Surface Repair (30–45 minutes)
Before applying the new finish, we repair any damage:
• Chips are filled with specialized bonding compounds
• Cracks are sealed to prevent future water infiltration
• Rough or worn areas are smoothed
• Rust spots are treated and neutralized
Step 3: Etching and Priming (20–30 minutes)
We apply an etching solution that creates microscopic texture on the surface. This allows the new coating to form a mechanical bond that lasts for years, not months.
Step 4: Coating Application (60–90 minutes)
Using professional spray equipment, we apply multiple thin layers of our premium coating. Each layer is carefully applied to ensure:
• Even coverage with no drips or runs
• Proper thickness for durability
• Smooth, glossy finish
Step 5: Curing (24–48 hours)
While the hands-on work takes about 4 hours, the coating needs time to fully cure. You can use your tub after 24 hours, but we recommend waiting 48 hours for optimal results.
How to Prepare Your Bathroom
To help us work efficiently, please:
• Remove all personal items from the tub area
• Clear a path from your front door to the bathroom
• Ensure good ventilation (open a window if possible)
• Plan to keep pets and children away during the process
What You'll Notice Immediately
When the work is complete, you'll see:
• A brilliant, high-gloss finish that reflects light
• Uniform color with no stains or discoloration
• Smooth surface that's easy to clean
• Repaired chips and cracks completely invisible
