Tub Refinishing Process
Overall, tub preparation is key in a successful bathtub refinishing Peoria IL project. First of all, the surface of the tub is cleaned thoroughly. The caulking is then removed from the tub surface. Next, the tub surface is etched and repairs, if necessary, are made. A primer or bonding agent is applied and, finally, three coats of our modified two-part urethane coating is applied to the bath tub.
