Maintenance Care & Warranty

 

 

 
 
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SEAL WITH CAULKING ANY FIXTURES THAT WERE NEVER REMOVED AFTER THE 48HOUR CURE PERIOD HAS PASSED. LIKE DRAINS, FAUCETS KNOBS AND SPOUTS. NOT CAULKING THE FIXTURES CAN CAUSE THE FINISH TO LIFT AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME WITH EXPOSURE TO MOISTER AROUND THE EDGE OF THE FIXTURES.Do not get the surface wet for at least 48 hours after refinishing work is completed.

 

Cleaning and Maintaining Instructions

 

You should maintain newly refinished bathtub/tiles in much the same manner as new bathtub/tiles. The following instructions will keep the finish clean and attractive for many years. Failure to follow these instructions may void your warranty.
 
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or corrosive chemicals like bleach as well as any product with strong acids such as Lime Away or Drano on REFINISHED SURFACES. Do not use cleaners like Ajax, Comet, or any harsh abrasives as this tends to dull surfaces and will cause your refinished fixture to lose its shine and luster over time.Regular cleaning is important to prevent dirt and soap scum build-up that will hide the beauty of the finish. Clean with warm water and liquid detergents or bathroom cleaners. We highly Recommend to use automotive soap, other good cleaners to use  are Scrubbing Bubbles, Kaboom, Simple Green and liquid dish soap, such as Ivory or Dawn. These will clean the refinished fixture without dulling the finish.
 
NEVER use suction cup bathmats or any suction cups on the finish.
Repair all leaky faucets right away. Constant dripping will cause premature wear and rust around the drain.
Do not use acids on the finish.If using a drain opener, carefully pour it into the drain, trying not to spill it on the finished surface.
 
To keep your bathtub looking great for years, do not store soap, Shampoo, bath oil, etc. on the corner ledge. Water is trapped underneath and in time, this can cause the finish to discolor. A hanging shower caddy works well to store these things away from the surface (no suction cups).
 
Liquid car wax works well to protect the finish and make it easier to clean. Follow the directions on the container. Waxing around the drain will also keep water and rust stains from forming. Apply wax every 3 months or so. Never wax the bottom of the bathtub! It makes it slippery and dangerous.
 
Never allow nail polish remover to come in contact with the finish as it causes damage to the finish.
Toilets and floors can be refinished but are not covered under this warranty.
Chips, Cracks, Rust or any man-made damages are not covered under this warranty.

More RECOMMENDATIONS:

We Recommend that customer apply silicone caulking if needed to bathtub before use for first time.

We are not liable if other contractor's or handy man damage the work.

  1. DO NOT USE THE SURFACE FOR THE SPECIFIED NUMBER OF DAYS OR HOURS INDICATED BY THE REFINISHER WHO COMPLETED THE JOB. USUALLY 48HRS.
  2. DO NOT LAY SOAP, SPONGES, CLOTHS, BOTTLES OR ANY OBJECTS ON THE FINISH AT ANY TIME! PURCHASE A SHOWER RACK INSTEAD.
  3. DO NOT LET A LEAKY FAUCET GO UNREPAIRED.
  4. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS. NO S-O-S PADS. NO POWDER CLEANSERS (AJAX, COMET). NO SOFT SCRUB, NO RAZOR, NO ABRASIVES AT ALL! TUB CLEANS EASY WITH A SPRAY CLEANER AND A SOFT SPONGE(SUCH AS DISH SCRUB SPONGE).
  5. DO USE GOOD CLEANSERS SUCH AS: AUTOMOTIVE SOAP, SCRUBBING BUBBLES, KABOOM, SIMPLE GREEN AND LIQUID DISH SOAP, SUCH AS IVORY OR DAWN. MIXED ON WARM WATER AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.
  6. DO NOT USE BATH MATS WITH SUCTION UNDERNEATH. THEY WILL PULL THE FINISH AND TRAP MOISTURE.
  7. DO NOT PICK SURFACE DUST OFF WITH YOUR FINGERS. ANY SURFACE DUST PARTICLES WILL DISSIPATE WITH REGULAR USAGE.
  8. DO USE A TOWEL AFTER EACH USE. THE BEST WAY TO KEEP YOUR TUB CLEAN IS TO WIPE IT DOWN WITH A TOWEL AFTER EACH USE. YOU DON’T HAVE TO WIPE IT DRY.
  9. DO ENSURE CAULKING IS ALWAYS AROUND THE TUB AND FIXTURES THAT WERE LEFT ON. 
  10. DO NOT USE ANY HAIR DYES ON THE REGLAZED SURFACE. AS COLORS WILL STAIN AND DAMAGE THE REGLAZE.
  11. DO NOT USE LIQUID CLOG REMOVERS ON REGLAZED SURFACE SUCH AS, LIQUID PLUMR, DRANO OR ANY OTHERS.
  12. NEVER USE A BATHTUB OR OTHER REGLAZED SURFACE TO CLEAN BRUSHES OR ANY PAINTING RELATED CHEMICALS OR MATERIALS. KEEP ALL HARSH CHEMICALS AWAY FROM TUB. DON’T CLEAN OR STORE SHARP OR ABRASIVE ITEMS ON SURFACE.
  13. NEVER LET WORKERS STAND IN A REGLAZED TUB WITH THEIR SHOES ON. HAVE THEM REMOVE SHOES AND PUT A SOFT TOWEL DOWN.
