What is Antique Tub Restoration
Antique tub restoration is the process of revitalizing and preserving old, vintage, or historic tubs to their original or near-original condition.
These tubs often have significant historical, sentimental, or aesthetic value and may be made from materials like cast iron, porcelain, or other high-quality materials that were common in the past.
Restoration keeps these beautiful pieces of history from the landfill, while breathing new life into them, respecting their original craftsmanship, and making them functional and visually appealing to new customers and markets.
Antique Bathtub Resurfacing Steps
Restoration and Resurfacing antique bathtubs can be a time consuming and complex process depending on the condition of the tub.
As such, proper restoration protocol needs to be completed in our workspace with special equipment. For customers having their personal tubs resurfaced, this means we will need to make arrangements to transport the tub to and from our workshop to complete the project. We can provide further details when you contact us.
Resurfacing Steps may Include:
Preparation: Thoroughly clean and remove any existing coatings or debris from the antique bathtub's surface.
Repair: Address any chips, cracks, or imperfections in the bathtub's enamel or structure. Ensure the surface is smooth and even.
Etching: Etch the surface of the bathtub to create a fine texture that helps the new coating adhere effectively.
Priming: Apply a high-quality primer to enhance the adhesion of the new finish to the bathtub's surface.
Applying Coating: Carefully apply a specialized refinishing coating using professional techniques to achieve a smooth and consistent finish.
Drying: Allow the coating to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. This step is crucial for the durability of the new finish.
Buffing and Polishing: After the coating has dried, buff and polish the surface to achieve a glossy and refined appearance.
Quality Inspection: Thoroughly inspect the resurfaced bathtub for any imperfections, ensuring the finish is flawless.
Final Touches: Reinstall any removed hardware, such as faucets and drain plugs, to complete the restoration.
Curing: Allow the bathtub to cure for the recommended time period before using it to ensure the refinishing is fully set and durable.
Enjoy: Experience the revived beauty of the antique bathtub, now restored to its former glory through professional resurfacing.
