Bathtub Repair: Chips and Buffing
November 9, 2010
You dropped a wrench in your bathtub; you bathed your dogs in the tub and their nails scratched up the bottom; years of use have made your bathtub dull and unattractive. Maybe you need refinishing, or maybe your tub just needs chip repair or an industrial buffing to bring back the shine.
If your tub is chipped above the waterline – like on the saddle or outside – a chip repair can be very effective. I use custom-tinted process, bonding compound, and an air brush for a blended, nearly perfect match. Most people can’t even find where the chip was, once I’m finished.
In the case of scratches or burns, I can often use an industrial buffing compound and high-powered buffer to bring back a nice luster to a bathtub’s surface.
Now, if you have a chip below the water line, a chip repair won’t last. I can put one on for you, but it will not come with any guarantee because the tub should be refinished. Above the waterline, I’ll include a warranty. If a tub’s scratches and burns are too deep to buff out, we’ll have to look at bathtub refinishing. Call me for a bid if you live in the Dallas – Fort Worth metroplex. I’m Chris, and you can reach me at 940-395-1406 any time.
