Maryland Tub & Tile uses a proprietary bathtub refinishing process to renew worn or outdated bathtubs without the need for costly replacements. Our process can restore the appearance of a bathtub and extend its life, making it look like new at a fraction of the cost of a replacement.
Preparation of the Area
Remove all hardware (faucets, drains, and other hardware are removed or masked off.)
Surface Protection: Floors, walls, and other surrounding areas are covered to protect from overspray.
Surface Prep
Old caulking is removed, and an acid etch or sanding is done to create a mechanical bond, allowing the primer and finish to adhere better.
Tiles (if being refinished) are regrouted.
Repairs: Any chips, cracks, or rust spots on the tub are repaired using a filler material (like epoxy or polyester resin).
The filled areas are sanded down to create a smooth and even surface, ensuring that the repaired areas are flush with the rest of the tub.
The tub is thoroughly cleaned and dried after the etching process to remove any residue.
Priming the Surface
We apply a bonding agent for better adhesion
Two coats of primer are applied to ensure that the refinishing coating adheres properly to the tub surface.
Reglazing
A high-quality refinishing coating (typically an acrylic urethane) is sprayed onto the surface in thin, even layers. We apply 3 coats with drying in between to obtain a like-new finish.
Completion
We remove paper, tape and clean up
New caulk is applied around the bathtub
Your refinished tub is left to dry and can be used within 24-48 hours after the process is complete.
