Now I wish I would have remembered to take before photos of this one!
I always talk about stripping tubs all the way back down to the original surface and why it's important.
It's largely important as resurfacing is an entire process. A process that includes developing a bond between the original surface and the new coating. If you are not at the original service, you cannot develop the bond which means you cannot ensure durability and longevity.
A lot of people think oh it's okay to just sand it and redo. It's not. Case in point this tub. It had over five layers on it. Over Five layers of failing coating. Over five times of someone failing to do the job properly. That just blows my brain!
I always say if you just sand it down and reapply, it will always fail too. A) it's typically the wrong type of bond b) you're applying your new coating, to something that is already failing! So it's gonna fail!!!
We had to strip this guy multiple times just so it could be done right.
And while we appreciate the business and helping others get stuff straightened back to right....please do your homework before hiring!
