There are only a few steps in tub refinishing but each one is critical to ensure a beautiful, professional finish.
Here are the steps:
Clean the tub thoroughly with chemical cleaners. The surface will need to be dried well.
The tub will then be sanded so the paint will adhere to the rougher surface.
On certain surfaces a chemical adhesive will be used.
The final step will be the application of the acrylic paint.
I will teach you more about the important details of each step. If you are going to hire a professional for your tub refinishing, you'll want to be sure that they follow these steps.
