Cracked Bathtub Repair
Bathtub Refinishing Texarkana can come to the rescue and save your cracked bathtub or shower insert. These one-piece units are great because it has the tub and the surrounding walls all molded into one solid unit. The problem is that replacing them means breaking them apart and using a completely different kind of bathtub or shower unit in its place. Bathroom doors are not wide enough for a new unit to fit into so replacement is not even an option. A bathtub crack repair can be made to maintain that nice molded one-piece look and functionality we can repair even a cracked fiberglass tub or shower that is leaking. Typically, we can make these repairs in less than a day and your surface is ready to use the following morning. For minor blemishes, Bathtub Refinishing Texarkana can complete a bathtub chip repair for you.
A little-known fact about the fiberglass in plastic units is that they do require significant support up underneath any area of the tub or shower that a person stands in. Nearly every home improvement skips this step and just places the unit in and not bother with this critical support. When bathtub refinishing Texarkana comes in and makes repairs, one of the first things we do is check to see how strong that tub bottom or shower pan is. We often pump a reinforcing foam up underneath the tub before doing the fiberglass repairs. Fiberglass tub bottoms are also only rated to 250 pounds. When this is exceeded in a tub bottom the risk of fiberglass or acrylic surface cracking increases greatly!
Once we complete the patch with our fiberglass resin which has a fast drying time of less than 2 hours, we can either color match to your existing surface for a less expensive fix or we can refinish your entire unit so that it all has the same color and sheen. Many customers also prefer for us to put a textured bottom where they stand to help reduce the risk of slips and falls when getting out of the tub or shower. We offer this additional service at no charge when making any crack repair! This is a great way to hide and repair a small crack on the tub bottom.

Fix Bathtub Chip
Bathroom surfaces are hard and very durable by design so that they can stand up to the many stresses that a family can put on them through daily use. However even the toughest surfaces can be damaged and accidents do happen over time. Frequently what we see is either a tool being dropped on the tub surface and a piece of coating knocked loose or children a little “too energetic” with their toys during bath time and a truck, boat, or high diving Barbie mar the porcelain! Either way a bathtub chip repair can hide that spot that has been put in your tub and make it look like it's never even happened. Tub Chip Repairs can be done by Bathtub Refinishing Texarkana on any type of tub or shower unit including:
· Fiberglass
· Porcelain
· Acrylic
· Man-made marble, a.k.a., cultured marble
· Bathtubs
· Shower Walls
· Shower pans (bottoms)
Cracked Bathtub Repair vs. Chip Repair
Since the process to fix bathtub chip or scratch in the tub is not as invasive and as intensive as a cracked tub repair, this is a less expensive solution than the crack repair. The difference between the 2 comes down to the extent of the damage. A chip is damage to the top surface of the tub and does not compromise the integrity of the structure. A crack is defined as a damage that goes thru the tub and requires more repair work. For the simpler chip repair, we first prepare the surface and clean and dry the chipped area very thoroughly and then use a polyester filler to bring that repair back up even with the rest of the tub surface. The technician then uses the colors we stock to make a custom color match hat is as close if not the same as your existing color and sheen. Damage like this can also happen during a remodeling or building process. We are Kohler and Sterling's factory repair representatives for the state of Arkansas and specialize in making these types of repairs. We have years of experience making small accidents disappear!
