Dallas Bathtub Refinishing Chemical Weld

Dallas Bathtub Refinishing Services chemically welds a new surface into the old surface. Please know this is the same coating and silane coupling agent used by me for bathtub, tile and shower refinishing. This was only 1-2 coats of the polyester water proof coating, whereas a customers bathtub refinishing project would have a film thickness equal to 7 - 9 coats. I was testing the bond, or chemical weld of the silane and not the thickness of the top coat. I applied silane to a 9" X 9" ceramic tile, then applied the polyester surface to the tile. I allowed the tile to cure for 36 hours. The tile was placed in a stainless steel pan of hot water over 120(F) for over 30 minutes during which time the heat source continued to heat the water until the thermometer reached 180(F) then quickly thereafter the water began to boil the test tile for 10 minutes. I then turned the heat source down, allowed to cool while in water sitting on the hot electric burner for about 10 minutes. The pan was then moved off the hot burner and the tile was allowed to cool fully submerged for 5 hours. Less than 1 hour after removing from the water and drying I did the cross hatch adhesion test shown at the end of the video. The polyester coating passed with flying colors while remaining glossy and smooth. I expected the results because the polyester surface has been my main coating since 2018. I continue to put anything new up against the polyester chemically bonded with silane coupling agent. Polyester coating is a water proof coatings that looks great, resist chemical abrasion better than anything I have seen (please keep in mind other bathtub refinishing businesses are using paint such as epoxy or aliphatic acrylic urethane). I wanted to prove the ability of the chemical weld of the polyester surface to the customer though. I knew it was going to be great. However, it's not what I think, It is how the coating performs for the customer!

    Dallas Bathtub Refinishing does not paint the old surface with standard epoxy or urethane paint. When correctly refinished the customer will enjoy the new surface for upwards of 20 years. Plus the surface can always be refinishing in the future.

 Dallas Bathtub Refinishing  No Epoxy or Acrylic Urethane Paint Is Used.  Other refinishers are still using the same Apartment and Hotel grade paints that have cast a black cloud over the bathtub refinishing industry. I was never happy with those results because I knew there was so much more to bathtub and tile refinishing then making something look good for a picture . If you have searched bathtub or tile refinishing near me and you live the Dallas TX area I ask that you please see my main site to learn about my bathtub and tile refinishing process. This is residential quality bathtub and shower refinishing. Not Apartment grade that is meant to last a lease term on an apartment then gets redone again when the apartment is turned for a new tenant. I will personally come to your home to refinish the project you have my background is completely clean. Never even had a speeding ticket as of  September 2023. You will find me professional, very friendly, knowledgeable, polite and respect

  How do I clean a newly refinished bathtub? Newly Moved in? Maybe You Just Had a Surface Refinished. Let's Discuss Cleaning The Bathtub, Shower, Tile and, Vanities It's sometimes very hard to tell if a bathtub, shower, tile, sink, and vanity surface has been refinished. If it looks new when you move in let's assume it has been refinished. Many times when moving into a home or especially an apartment , It's hard to tell if the surfaces have been refinished. Most of us want to reach for a strong bleach and disinfect these surfaces. However , before you do lets discuss why that will probably discolor and the surface and very possibly ruin the surface after one cleaning.  Apartment bathtub refinishing is usually completed by a 2-part part paint called aliphatic acrylic urethane. Just as any other paints these come in very low quality and very high quality. Also know some professional bathtub refinishing companies are still using the outdated standard epoxy paint for refin
