• Refinishing Step 01

Surface Preparation

Thorough cleaning and chemical etching eliminate embedded oils, limescale, and soap residue to expose the raw substrate for bonding.

Chemical Stripping

Industrial strength cleaners dissolve mineral crust, soap scum, and residual wax, stripping the original enamel back to a pristine, bare surface.

Micro-Porous Acid Etching

A specialized acid etching agent opens microscopic pores across porcelain or acrylic walls, providing the mechanical grip necessary for coating adhesion.

• Refinishing Step 02

Repair and Priming

Structural damaged areas are filled, feather-sanded, and isolated with high-grade protective masking tape prior to primer bonding.

Structural Chip Repair

Waterproof epoxy resins level deep chips, gouges, and rust spots flush with surrounding enamel, eliminating structural weaknesses in the shell.

Precision Protective Masking

Surrounding ceramic wall tiles, chrome faucets, and drains are sealed under heavy protective paper and painter tape to protect bathroom surfaces from overspray.

• Refinishing Step 03

Refinishing and Final Result

Multiple passes of high-density polymer acrylic produce a durable, high-gloss white surface ready for long-term residential use.

HVLP Polymer Application

High-volume low-pressure equipment applies uniform layers of industrial coating, bonding deeply with the etched surface for maximum impact resistance.

Cured High-Gloss Finish

After removing masking, the result is a flawless, pore-free white bathtub that restores original shine with zero tear-out demolition.
