Bathtub Refinishing Dallas Have you thought about how you can update your home without having to undertake a major remodeling project? Let's discuss a couple of options you have for doing this. Most people Immediately turn to Bathroom Remodeling Bathroom Remodeling is an absolute way to make the bathroom or any room look new again. The length of time it takes, the dust it stirs up, additional cost when hidden problems are discovered and the number of strangers in your home will cause a lot of us to avoid this avenue completely. Dallas Bathtub Services Refinishing Another way to update your bathroom is to paint the tile and bathtub. The problem is that tile and bathtub surfaces are non porous. It is like trying to paint glass. Since paint goes on top of the old surface and will wear down It doesn't take very long before you have a peeling mess to deal with that inevitably becomes partially stuck to the surface leaving areas peeled off. Often confused with Bathtub and Tile painting. However, bathtub and tile refinishing is a synergistic process that involves creating microscopic pores in the old surface so the new synthetic porcelain surface can be chemically welded with a molecular bonding agent into, not on top of the old surface. The pictures below are the Completed Pictures from above.

Bathtub Refinishing Dallas since 1991 Bathtub Refinishing Dallas since 1991. It's so hard to believe I started my refinishing business after graduating high school in 1991 right here in Dallas,Tx. When we are young, or maybe it was just me but when I was young nothing seemed to rattle me. I think I was too naive to be very honest. I would tell her things will get better, although she never complained or asked for them too. It was just something I remember telling my wife several times throughout our first years of marriage. I honestly think having a strong faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior made us feel that we could weather these storms and we honestly never doubted that things would get better. I can tell you one thing for absolutely sure time does fly by! My daughter is now 23! She is taking psychology in College, now on her second semester. So I have been evaluated by her weekly and I am afraid I am going to have to change the locks on my house! Do you know every time I tell her something she starts breaking down what I said to see if there is a different meaning behind it! LOL.... I love her to death but it is so hard... so incredibly hard to take advice from someone who still had a personal relationship with Santa Clause 10 years ago!! 😂😂 I mean seriously, to most of us 10 years ago was just .. yesterday. To her it was that awkward middle school years we probably all would like to forget! That's my baby tho! So I will continue to pray 😂😂. Bathtub Refinishing Dallas Prices Now that I have went through my personal life which probably interested no one ... I will touch base on the business of bathtub refinishing in Dallas. I want to say with that I do not feel I am any better than any one else in the bathtub refinishing Industry in Dallas. We have a lot of very hard working, dedicated professionals that truly do a magnificent job. The problems occur and I have had this issue myself, when we hire help. This is why I pledge to remain an owner / operated business. When we hire help in an industry like bathtub refinishing we are putting a lot of trust in that hired hand. As a customer you are no longer getting the experience of the company that has been in business for 20 - 30 years or more, you are getting a person that maybe has never refinished anything before. Maybe they have refinished 3 tubs before or maybe they are a veteran with years of experience behind them. The scary part is even tho that company that has been in business for years backs up the work there are far too many shortcuts that someone can take on the preparation of the surface that absolutely will effect the quality and longevity of the refinished fixture. This is not a trade that can be rushed, each step prepares the surface for the next step and if just one of those steps are left out then your surface will fail quick. If that technician is lazy or simply feeling lazy that day then your new surface and your investment will fail. I'm telling you from experience, I have had so many headaches by my paid help that just simply should not have happened! I am 44 years old and as long as the good Lord is blessing me with the ability to work I will never retire! It is not something I'm interested in. I enjoy meeting customers, feeling appreciated when the job is completed and the customers sees a night and day difference in the bathtub, shower or tile surface. If you are interested in a quote with no obligation (And I promise to never bother you in the future) you can send a picture of your project to my phone at 972-391-7994 or email me at [email protected] I will get an exact quote over to you with a short explanation on how I would complete the work for you.

James Calhoon Dallas Bathtub Services Dallas Bathtub Services - Dallas TX I am sitting here on a Sunday evening reflecting on my Bathtub Refinishing in Denton Today. I met two very nice ladies that had installed some gorgeous glass tile around the bathtub causing a chip on the edge of the new tub. I was fortunate enough to have them find me online and I was able to restore the bathtub to a like new condition. If It were not for the pesky thing we call "bills" I would have completed this project for FREE! Number one they were very, very nice and that goes an awful long way with me! Not only that but they truly appreciated the job as much as I appreciated the work! They lived about 10 miles back off the highway and the scenery on this July Day was spectacular! Including the gravel road were I had to run around the truck because a bee was hitching a ride (inside the cab) and that is just a small part of why I love being self employed. Some people would not like working on a Sunday.... However, when you get to work for very nice people and it feels more like visiting old friends then work! I mean, for me the upfront pricing means no issues when I get to the customers home. They know the exact fee, I'm not going to "sell" anything and It takes the pressure off of the entire process. These are not 'just another job' these are people that I get to know and I remember and It seriously made for an enjoyable day.

Flat Rate, now I have had some customers ask me how I can offer flat rate prices? The truth is if I were not an owner / operated company I could not! I may end up spending 2 hours longer on a project that just is not going right, in other words it may be my fault, it may be the project just needed some extra work. The point being, if I hired help that extra time would simply have to be charged for. I think everyone understand that. Since I am self employed I can spend that extra time Helping out a customer and some customers do not realize the savings associated with having someone willing to honor a no hidden fee agreement. Most customers do! Most customers appreciate having the tub and tile refinished not simply painted. I want to say thank you to all of my customers! I hope to continue providing great service for another 25 years!

Dallas Bathtub Services Explains Bathtub Refinishing Terminolgy The terminology means very little. All of the following : Bathtub Refinishing, Bathtub Reglazing, Bathtub Resurfacing, Bathtub Refinishing, Bathtub Refacing, Bathtub restoration. All mean to create a new surface within the old surface. This is never done with Epoxy paint, it is never done with paint period! That is the part that gets a little crazy. I mean you see the D.I.Y. epoxy paint system in the home improvement store and it says bathtub, sink, tile refinishing on the can! How is it that a person is suppose to know there even is a difference?
I would like to urge every professional refinishing company to educate the public! As an Industry we know we have a black cloud over us. However, we also know that black cloud is from misinformation and half truths about bathtub refinishing. We know bathtub painting and bathtub refinishing is two completely different things! We have to educate others to know that when you paint a bathtub with epoxy paint and use it daily then it may last 3 months before it looks worn out. If you clean the Epoxy coated bathtub with diluted bleach then it will turn yellow, permanently! There is a silver lining! Dallas Bathtub Services uses copolymer porcelain coatings, coatings cross linked with everything from fiberglass, vinyl and liquid glass! Professionals have access and experience with chemicals that allow us to create pores in the old surface, then we have molecular bonding agents to chemically weld the new finish into those pores, into the old surface! Not just on top of the old surface like paint! Learn more and let us help you with your refinishing project. Dallas Bathtub Services 972-391-7994 James Calhoon Dallas Bathtub Refinishing and Restoration The process of Bathtub Refinishing is the process of penetrating the old surface and creating a permanent bond that chemically welds the new surface into the old surface. Dallas, Tx. has a competitive market when it comes to bathtub refinishing. However, we have a unique refinishing process to create a permanent bond. Combine that with the ultra high Gloss and toughness of synthetic porcelain and that is a winning combination for Bathtub, tile, shower, vanity and counter top refinishing. How does refinishing work? Are the kits just as good if I'm a D.I.Y. person? Bathtub Refinishing works by creating microscopic scratches in the old surface. A professional bathtub refinishing company will then use an adhesive primer and finish with about 9 coats of Quality finish coat so the idea is to bond the finish coat to the old surface and the microscopic abrasions give 'Bite' to the new coating. We make sure those microscopic abrasions are on every square inch of the surface being refinished. I then hand rub the molecular bonding primer into those pores that have been created this bonding agent was borrowed from the Dental industry and is called silane for bonding porcelain. Then I apply 3 - 5 coats of copolymer porcelain finish coat. After that cures I apply another coating of molecular bonding agent and 3 -5 more coats of synthetic porcelain. In essence this creates a permanent bond into the old surface followed by a permanent bond onto the old surface! Now, other refinishers tell me I am doing too much work. They argue that the second application is not needed. To that I simply say O.K. let them continue to take short cuts, thin down the coating, save $20.00 here and there. I will continue to go the extra mile, Provide more then the minimum coating and get repeat customers and referrals which saves me money on heavy advertising! A good business person knows #1) if you take care of your customers and simply do the job right then those happy customers tell others about you! #2) That saving $20.00 here and there sounds great on paper. However, If you have to raise your advertising budget just to keep work coming in then your really not saving that extra $20 to $ 30. All you are doing is providing an inferior service and then costing yourself money and customers in the long run!
