We recently heard a story we found very interesting. It was related to refinishing, so it immediately piqued our interest. The story goes like this:
\n\u201cI was looking for tub refinishing near me<\/a> when I found some very worrying information about this procedure. Too many people are complaining that their tubs smell funny after the refinishing. Also, it looks like this treatment doesn\u2019t last for more than a year or two. I no longer want to order the reglazing service and I suggest you avoid it as well.\u201d
\nYes, there can be problems with the inexpensive tub restoration service known as resurfacing (or reglazing, or refinishing). However, the problems are not due to the process itself, but due to the people who do the work.<\/p>\n

Why Do Reglazing Problems Appear?<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard about reglazing, the cheap remodeling for your tub. Like the person above, you may have seen negative opinions about it. But the truth is that over 90% of the people who pay for a resurfacing service are satisfied with the results. The other 10% have probably hired the wrong person or have done the refinishing job themselves. One needs extensive experience and a very specific set of tools to do the job right. Only a trained, certified and insured professional should attempt to do a refinishing job.<\/p>\n

The Most Common Problems<\/h2>\n

Here are the most common problems with resurfacing (any fixture, including sinks, toilets, urinals, tubs, and sinks):
\n\u2022 Insufficient coating thickness \u2013 this is the fault of the person who did the refinishing.
\n\u2022 Brittleness of the coating \u2013 the worker did not mix the substances correctly or in the required quantities.
\n\u2022 The substrate is visible \u2013 again, the worker did not apply several layers of coating, as required.
\n\u2022 Cracking \u2013 the mix was poorly formed and was not allowed to dry properly.
\n\u2022 Increased dry time or improper curing \u2013 the substances and materials used were the cheapest on the market.
\nAs you can see, there is a simple answer to all of the most common resurfacing problems. The best way to avoid such problems is to hire a professional who has years of experience completing refinishing jobs successfully. Simple!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
