Top 10 Reasons Why Bathtub Refinishing  Does Not Last
                                                                             


1.  Most refinishers use the wrong etching products or none at all.

Answer: We use micro etching systems for stronger bond ability.

                                                                          
2. Most refinishers do not clean bathtub surfaces correctly.

                            Answer: We use special high-grade cleaning solvents.                                           
                                        
3. Most refinishers do not remove ceramic etching-scale during preparation.

Answer: We commercially de-scale all bathtub surfaces after etching.
                                                                          
4. Most refinishers do not recognize acid resistant surfaces.

Answer: We use a special pre-prime adhesive on all acid-resistant surfaces.

                                                                       
5.  Most refinishers use the wrong bonding agent on iron-oxide finishes.

Answer: We use a highly formulated seal-coat to help bond iron-oxide surfaces.

                                                                       
6. Most refinishers do not use the proper adhesive to prepare for refinishing.

Answer: We use low build ceramic-substrate primer adhesives.

                                                                         
7. Most refinishers over or under dry their top coat finishes.

Answer: We use high quality adjustable air flow drying systems.

                                                                      

8. Most refinishers damage the polymers in the coating by using poor solvent.

Answer: We use ultra-pure top coat reducer for our finishes.

                                                                        

9. Most refinishers use home-grown off the counter inferior systems.

Answer: ShurBond® Refinishing Systems are designed for bathroom
refinishing.

                                                                          

10. Most refinishers do not mix their top coat properly.

Answer: ShurBond® Coating Systems are regulated by the
manufacture specification and solids are carefully monitored for
quality control.                                                                                         

Note: Many over the counter systems(home-grown) that our competitors are USING really are
not designed for hotel or residential bathroom & kitchen refinishing work. Many of these
companies destroy the natural qualities of their products by over drying & using excessive
amounts of solvent & fillers to speed the drying times.

One huge problem with the bathtub refinishing industry is products that are being marketed as
fast dry systems. They become brittle and are not generally flexible systems and will cause
cracking.

Another huge problem is inexperience & lack of product knowledge , Some guys  get trained
and work for a company who supplies them with the material after a year or so they decide to
go on there own with no real knowledge of the business itself or any of its mechanics, instead of
getting educated about the material and about business and where to purchase good products ,  
they buy automotive coatings from a local guy, or they use epoxy and inferior easy to get
material . Some guys don't even know where to begin with business itself never mind Reglazing.
Fundamentally they can't set up legitimate company in a year or so they are gone.  This is
creating a mess and a bad name in the industry. By calling around and taking time to speak to
some companies you should be able to weed them out. There is only a handful of reputable
companies out there , And we have no problems sharing that information with you to ensure our
industry continues on with quality workmanship and a great reputation.

However everyone must learn some how,  hopefully not on you !
