And what’s more interesting is that these refinishing products are also available in a large variety of textures that include different kinds of glaze finishes such as mirror or satin. Most of the tub and tile refinishing kits are expensive. But I had a limited budget. So, I was looking for affordable options.

When it comes to refinishing tiles with this product, it may clump a little on the surface, so make sure to use a limited amount when you are doing the tiles. It provides superior adhesion in water and a brilliant lasting finish for any old tub or tiled-surface. This refinishing kit protects your bathtub surface from yellow stains with a white finish. Isn’t it great? Most paints and refinishing products usually smell strongly of chemicals and produce toxic fumes during the application or even after the procedures are done with. Avoid using any harsh or abrasive chemical cleaner for cleaning a refinished bathtub. Use a mild liquid cleaner and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water. Avoid using acids or bleach at all costs.Most refinishing jobs will last about 4 years, although that lifespan can be extended by properly maintaining the tub and being aware of what type of cleaners one uses on it. Q: How long does it take to reglaze a bathtub? Remove the tub drain and overflow faceplate. If possible, remove the tub drain and the faceplate covering the overflow. This will allow you to coat under these areas, eliminating a seam between the new coating and old coating around the drain and faceplate that could promote chipping or peeling. DIY bathtub refinishing is a safe procedure as long as you use refinishing eco-friendly kits. Some serious concerns may stem from methods that are involved in bathtub reglazing. Adopting safety measures is a must, including protective face masks and gloves. This formula makes the product immensely resistant to corrosion and moisture. The product can cover up to 110 sq ft for each kit as long as you limit it to 2 coats, which is recommended anyway.

High-gloss finishes are beautiful, but they can also be slippery, making them hazardous for certain users. While it still dries to a high gloss, Bathworks’ refinishing formula includes a sand additive that gives it a nonslip finish, making it a good option for those concerned about slipping in the shower. Because it has been made of sustainable ingredients such as epoxy and acrylic, along with that, it won’t harm you. Our only gripe with this product is that it does smell quite strongly of chemicals. Make sure to use a mask while handling it and keep it out of reach of pets and children. It is easy to use and covers around 75-100 sq feet in just two-coats. This is actually sufficient for one large and two average tubs. The finish is long-lasting and holds up substantially well. The only issue with this product could be that it can chip after a point, as it stretches really thin. This formula is meant to be used on vinyl, metal, or wood, so you apply it to surfaces like laminate countertops, metal bar tops, or wooden workbenches. Keep in mind that you will need to prime wooden and metal surfaces with Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Flat White Primer or Rust-Oleum Clean Metal Primer. This formula covers as much as 25 linear feet, which is slightly less than what other refinishing kits can cover. It is dry to the touch in just an hour but requires 3 days to fully cure. This curing time is also longer than other formulas, but we still think the payout on this formula is worth the longer wait, especially given its simple roll-on application method.

Customer reviews

The Homax Tub Refinishing Kit offers you a very resilient, high-gloss porcelain finish product that not only gives your old tubs and tiles a marvelous, pearlescent finish but it also puts a protective shield on the damaged areas of the surface. As soon as these chemicals are released into the air, they contaminate the different levels of the atmosphere, gradually reaching the Ozone layer around the earth and making it weak against the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Our finishing fillers can be applied to all types of surfaces; new or renovated, painted or unpainted. Whites and neutral shades are very versatile and could go on a large number of items such as sinks and tiles apart from tubs. Whereas, other colors may be used to make a brilliant interior decor statement for your bathroom.
