If your bathtub is worn or damaged, you may think you need to replace it. However, Chris Duty wants to encourage you to consider a simpler option with less mess and fewer costs. We’re talking about bathtub refinishing.
Replacing your bathtub requires a lot of time and stress. To replace an old bathtub, you must go through a demolition. You have to remove old tile and fixtures, tear out drywall, and arrange for new plumbing. You may be only replacing your tub, but it’s likely that the messy renovation will make your entire bathroom unusable. All this construction can take weeks and provide a huge inconvenience. You’ll not only have to use other bathrooms during this time, but the destruction can also be loud and irritating for your houseguests. Refinishing, however, is much simpler and cleaner. You won’t have to rip out surfaces or throw messy pieces all over your house. In addition, porcelain refinishing can be completed in just a few days. It takes about 48 hours for your surfaces to harden, but after that your bathtub will be ready for use. Chris also uses fans to help reduce the odor from the refinishing process, which helps decrease the discomfort in your home.

After Striking Image refinishes your bathtub, the material needs time to dry. Chris Duty recommends avoiding using your refinished surface for at least 24 hours after the application. Even if it’s been years since your remodel, it’s important to take care of your surfaces to avoid damage. Follow these care instructions to prevent ruining your refinished bathtub or shower.
Keep your surface clean and shiny
Abrasive cleaners are very acidic and can wear away the outer coating on your tub. This will leave a rough surface that can trap dirt and oil. In addition, bleach can discolor a colored porcelain texture. Simple Green, Fantastic, Dow, Mr. Clean, and Lysol Tub and Tile Foam are all approvable cleaners that will leave your tub shiny and smooth.
Avoid using rough scrubbers
When cleaning your tub, avoid using a scrub pad or anything with rough bumps and bristles. Scrubbing your surfaces can scratch the coating and create a coarse texture. Instead, clean your bathtub with a soft rag, and wipe it down with a towel after every use.

Chris Duty, owner and operator of Striking Image Porcelain Refinishing, refinishes porcelain structures in bathrooms and kitchens. Porcelain refinishing is a cost effective option for sprucing up old and outdated sinks, countertops, showers, and bathtubs. Many Dallas and Fort Worth area residents are unaware of how porcelain refinishing may benefit them. Instead of completely remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, Striking Image produces beautiful results that are wallet-friendly. Below you will find answers to some frequently asked questions about our services.
What are the benefits to porcelain refinishing?
Porcelain refinishing is less expensive than overhauling a kitchen or bathroom. Since we are not replacing sinks and tubs, your overall cost is drastically reduced. Modernizing and restoring bathrooms with refinishing methods is also less time consuming than a total overhaul. We repair discoloration from rust and mold along with concealing chips and cracks.
Can you refinish an antique bathtub?
Yes, we can! In fact, this is one of our specialties. Antique bathtubs are a wonderful focal point for your bathroom. Their style is almost irreplaceable. We understand that many of our clients who live in older homes want to maintain décor and fixtures that honor the time period when the home was built. In order to accommodate our clients with antique bathtubs, we offer refinishing services that will restore the look of your antique tub. We will also repair chips and imperfections on the inside and the outside of the tub. Read the rest of this entry ?

Thank you again, and it won’t be long until I need you to refinish my kitchen counter.”-Chae from Bedford
“Chris saved us the expense of having to tear out an old tub and buy a new one! Our old tub was so rusted around the overflow drain that you could touch it and it would crumble.

We definitely will call him again when the need arises and recommend him to our friends!”-Val and Kandy from Trophy Club
