Toms River, New Jersey
We are equipped to do all types of bathtub repair – from cast iron, pressed steels, Jacuzzi, shower pans and stalls to porcelain finishes, and even the new fiberglass gel coat tubs!
PROFESSIONAL BATHTUB REFINISHING
Bathtubs are shiny, beautiful, and look best when they’re polished. Unfortunately, they are also fragile and break easily. If you have cracks or other imperfections in your porcelain tub, look no further us! Bathtubs are the centerpiece of the bathroom and they’re also the amenity that requires the most repair, due to the fact they’re in almost constant contact with water.
Our bathtub repair services can range anywhere from fixing chips and cracks to refinishing poorly conducted paint jobs. We can repair all kinds of bathtubs even if they are fiberglass or porcelain material.
Is Full Bathtub Repair Even Possible?
Science plays a crucial role in the bathtub restoration industry. We only use the most eco-friendly materials to ensure a lasting finish.
DIY kits are also commonly sold in hardware and home improvement stores as an alternative. Brushing surfaces often peel, bubble, or chip after one to two years, despite the kits’ low cost and ease of application.
How Safe and Reliable Are the Repairs?
When refinishing or restoring something, we only use non-toxic, odorless materials. We ensure proper ventilation to get rid of odors and VOC emissions, and we follow the country’s most stringent air pollution regulations.
When Should I Have My Bathtub Restored?
A few examples of the materials we’re comfortable working with are porcelain, cast iron, steel, and acrylic. If your tub has stains, scratches, chips, or cracks, we can fix them for you and refinish them. If you want to update your bathroom but don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars, a bathtub restoration is a great option. It is important to note that bathtub restoration is not a viable option for those who wish to alter the design, size, or placement of the tub or those who have a severely stained tub.

Bathtub Restoration & Repair Process
First, strip off all of the old paint and give the tub a brilliant shine. Professionals use specialized tools for this step. After that, it’s cleaned with specialized chemicals. Our once-dingy tub is now sparkling clean. Despite the apparent surface wear, it passes for brand new.
Technicians can fill in any imperfections, so you wouldn’t know they were there. The material must be allowed to dry completely before it can be used; in the meantime, a fan should be installed to keep air moving, and sandpaper should be used to smooth out any rough spots. Priming a bathtub is the last step before installation. A special coating should be applied to protect the rest of the surface.
Last, we use a special paint impervious to moisture and scratches. After about 10 or 12 hours, your brand-new bathtub is dry and virtually indistinguishable from the one you just bought. Unlike some other household fixtures, bathtubs last for quite some time. Its finish could keep its shine for a decade or more with regular care.

COMMON CAUSES OF BATHTUB CRACKS
There are three main reasons why cracks tend to form in, bathtub materials which are lack of support or if the material is flexible, damage from heavy objects and damage from heavy cleaners. Some material such as fiberglass is highly flexible, meaning it will bend if weight is placed on it. If this sort of material is installed improperly or without additional support, overtime the weight pressure will cause cracks to form. Cracks also tend to form when objects are dropped on the bathtub, creating small divots and dents that will eventually spiral out into much larger cracks and crevices over time. Lastly, with highly abrasive cleaners such as bleach, the finish and gloss of the bathtub can easily be eroded, allowing more moisture into the material, causing cracks. So why are cracks dangerous? Well, if ignored, even tiny cracks in your bathtub can eventually become much larger cracks down the road
BATHTUB REPAIR - HOW ARE REPAIRS MADE?
Professional bathtub repair uses waterproof, polyester resins to fill chips and cracks. Once properly sanded and filled, acrylic enamel coatings are carefully applied commonly with an artist’s airbrush. The repaired area is carefully blended into the surrounding surface so well that it is practically invisible. Chip and bathroom tub repair takes an artistic eye for color and years of practice.

WHEN NOT TO REGLAZE.
Refinishing is well-suited to very old tubs, which typically have more character and are made of higher-quality materials than what’s available today. The process isn’t always the best solution, of course. For example, for a newer, low-quality tub, you’ll get better results by replacing it with a higher-quality model. Tubs that are in bad disrepair may not be candidates for reglazing. Also, homeowners who are remodeling and want a larger tub or one with more modern features, such as jets, will need to demolish and replace.
