The deterioration of your bath does not necessarily mean that you must replace it with a new one. With a bathroom pro, you will quickly discover that there are a number of ideas to renovate your cast iron or enamel bathtub, or any other material, and thus give it a second life. Provided, of course, to follow the following steps carefully! If you need a quality service follow Resurfacesolutions.
The first thing the pro will take into account before renovating your bathtub is its material. A tip to identify it? If its degradation is very significant, it means that it is rather old material. You then know that you have to renovate a cast iron or enameled steel bathtub. Modern materials such as acrylic or to play are subject to less damage because they degrade less quickly and are easier to clean.
It is by identifying these materials with a precision that the specialist in re-enameling or coloring can assess the type of work to be performed. Indeed, renovating an acrylic bathtub or renovating a cast iron bathtub - for example - does not require the same type of intervention.
To renovate your bathtub, know that the workspace must be well ventilated, to avoid any risk of poisoning. This step is essential for everyone's safety because the work releases volatile gases and dust.
In addition, renovating your equipment can be accompanied by large splashes of paint in your bathroom if you use bath paint. So remember to empty your bathroom before applying the bath paint and protect the furniture and walls.
Once the material has been identified and the work area has been secured, the professional will start by thoroughly cleaning and sanding your bathtub.
Then comes the time to examine the level of degradation in order to assess the extent of the work.
Minimal deterioration
Does your bathtub have small scratches or scuffs, and possibly small chips? You then apply a specific bathtub paint.
Significant deterioration
Are the fragments of your bathtub significant? Several layers of epoxy resin will be necessary to renovate your bathtub.
Major deterioration
In this case, rust has completely attacked your bathtub.
This is the ultimate touch to give an unparalleled glow to your bathtub. Several possibilities exist to remove the remaining dirt:
*An oven stripper to remove visible dark circles;
*Half a lemon sprinkled with coarse salt to remove stains;
*To renovate your enamel bathtub like never before and give it radiance: use turpentine.
