The TubMan Bathtub Refinishing Process: From Repairs to Refinishing Care

Preparing

  • Please clear all surfaces and areas where work will be done and remove all items from the tubs, showers, and counters or areas in which we will be working. 
  • Tubs, showers, and walls do not need to be cleaned before we arrive. Our process of cleaning and treating the surface will take care of the cleaning, so you don't have to. 

The Day Of

  • No people or pets are allowed in the room where we are working when we start the process and for 5 hours after we finish the work to allow for proper ventilation.
  • People with respiratory conditions, allergies, or other medical issues may consider being out of the area longer than 5 hours.
  • Do not touch the surface or get it wet for 48 hours after the surface is applied. Please make the necessary arrangements.

Maintenance

  • Avoid allowing wet items such as bath mats, washcloths, and towels to remain continuously on a refinished surface without drying out between uses. 
  • Mats with suction cups should NOT be used (These mats will damage the coating on new and resurfaced tubs).
  • Clean the finish regularly with a liquid soap (no abrasive cleaners); Barkeeper's Friend is the best, but you can also use Green Works, Simple Green, Fantastic, Arm & Hammer Shower, Scrubbing Bubbles, and many others.
  • DO NOT lay soap metal bottles on the finished surface.
  • For the first seven days, cleaning solutions or cleaning products should NOT be used on the coated surfaces.
  • Our surface can be regularly cleaned and sanitized with a good liquid cleaner of your choice. Do not use cleaners that contain abrasives, harsh acids, or bleach. Most worn tubs, sinks, and tile become worn and dull due to abrasive cleansers and not age or usage.
