Refinishing or reglazing your bathtub is one option to improve its appearance by applying a polyurethane coating. Care for a refinished bathtub is similar to caring for a car’s paint job if you want the finish to stay. Maintaining the finish requires a few more measures. If you give your finish the care it needs, it will only last for a short time and may invalidate the warranty.
Here’s what you should do to keep your recently refinished or reglazed tub in good condition:
- Please cooperate if the firm recommends that you abstain from utilizing the surface for a certain period.
- Soap, sponges, rags, bottles, and anything else should never be used on the finish. Instead, use a shower rack.
- Repair any leaking faucets right away.
- To prevent damage, use gentle cleaning agents. There are no signaling objects present (S-O-S) pads. Not a Comet. There are no razors available. ABSOLUTELY NO ABRASIVES! To clean the tub, use a soft sponge and some spray cleaners.
- Suction-cupped bath mats should not be used. They may hold moisture and cause the finish to pull.
- Picking at the surface will not remove the dust. Any apparent dust should be gone after three to four weeks of frequent cleaning and usage. Waxing may also be beneficial.
Paintbrushes and other painting supplies should never be cleaned in a bathtub or on any other glazed surface. Harsh chemicals should be avoided in the bath. It should not be used for cleaning or storing anything that might scratch or cut. Following these rules, you may safeguard your investment in a freshly refinished tub or tile and ensure that your warranty stays in force.
