How to Fix a Chip in a Fiberglass Bathtub

Fiberglass bathtubs are durable, but sometimes get chipped and damaged. Even a small chip in your bathtub can look ugly and feel uncomfortable.

Steps to Fix a Chip in a Fiberglass Bathtub

1.  Clean the chipped area: Clean the chipped area with soap and water. Let the area dry.

2. Mask: Mask the area around the chip with plastic tape.

3. Ventilate the area: Open windows to ventilate the bathroom.

4. Prepare the epoxy mixture: Add thickener to the epoxy and stir it.

5. Chip repair: Apply the epoxy mixture to the chipped area with a paintbrush. Allow the epoxy to dry for five hours or more.

6. Smooth the surface: Once the epoxy is dry, smooth the surface with sandpaper.

7. The bathtub is ready for use after 24-hours.

Fiberglass chip repair is a do-it-yourself job, but hiring a professional ensures a durable job.

Why Bathtub and Tile Resurfacing?

Why someone would choose bathtub and tile resurfacing over other methods of improving their bathroom. The answer is, if you’re looking to update your bathroom you really have only three options; you can completely tear out and replace that which you currently have, you can cover your fixtures up with a liner, or you can simply refinish your bathroom in a way that is attractive, inexpensive, and low maintenance.

How Does Bathtub And Tile Resurfacing Look?

When bathtub and tile resurfacing are completed by a trained technician, imperfections in your bathtub or tile, such as chips or scratches, will be fixed during the refinishing process. With the extensive variety of colors that are available, you can find a match to any décor you already have in place, thus breathing new life into your bathtub or tile.

How Long Does It Take To Complete a Bathtub And Tile Resurfacing?

It takes a technician about six to eight hours to complete your bathtub and tile reglazing project. If your technician is using high quality products, the finish should be dry to the touch in approximately 2 – 4 hours, though you shouldn’t use your bathtub for at least 24 hours after the application. Compare this to the time, and multiple appointments, it can take to completely tear out and replace or reline your bathtub and tile, and you’ll see that reglazing may be the best option for you.

Refinishing functionally sound bathtubs and tile can save you thousands compared to the cost of replacing or lining them. Furthermore, refinished bathtubs and tile have a durable finish that, if appropriately maintained, can last over 10 years and if completed by a reputable company, should come with a warranty that backs up the quality of service being promised.
As one can see, there are several advantages to reglazing your bathtub or tile over completely replacing or relining them. Call your reputable refinishing company to find out more today.
