Bathtub Refinishing

The Beginner’s Guide to Bathtub and Shower Refinishing

Nothing beats a warm bath at the end of a long day. Sinking into a dingy or damaged tub, however, can dampen the mood. If your tub is dated or damaged, contact Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing in St. Charles, IL, about our bathtub refinishing services. In a single day, we can transform your dated, damaged tub into a sparkly new fixture once more.

Can I Refinish My Own Tub?

Bathtub refinishing is a science. Fox Valley uses the most effective, eco-friendly products on the market to provide a smooth-as-glass, long-lasting finish. Alternatively, DIY kits are readily available at most home improvement stores. While these kits are affordable and easy to use, they typically leave homeowners with a brushed appearance that peels, bubbles, or chips within one to two years.

Professional Bathtub Refinishing Is the Key.

Professional bathtub refinishing involves much more than spraying on a coat of paint. Instead, we employ a careful chemical process to permanently alter the surface of your tub. Our technicians acid-etch the surface of the tub to create a porous surface. Then, we apply silane – an adhesion promoter – and a smooth, high-build epoxy to create a durable, glossy finish. When we are finished, your tub will have a flawless, glass-like finish in the color of your choice.

Is Bathtub Refinishing Safe and Effective?

Fox Valley is committed to using eco-friendly and low odor products for all of our refinishing services. Our coatings are in compliance with some of the strictest air pollution standard in the country! Plus, we are careful to properly ventilate the area to minimize odors and exposure to VOCs.

When to Refinish?

Fox Valley refinishes bathtubs made from porcelain, cast iron, steel, cultured marble, fiberglass, and acrylic. We repair and refinish tubs with stains, scratches, chips, and cracks. For homeowners who want to update the appearance of their tub without paying for an expensive bathroom remodel, refinishing is a great alternative! However, bathtub refinishing is not a suitable option for tubs in serious disrepair or for those who want to change the shape, size, or location of the tub.
