Care and Maintenance

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

By following the guidelines listed below, you will be assured many years of trouble-free service. DO NOT use the surface for 24 hours after job completion. Stay out of the area to prevent unnecessary dust or dirt from falling into the wet surface. Because we are not spraying in a spray booth, it is impossible to avoid some degree of dust or dirt particles from falling into finish. Any dirt or dust that lands in the finish will cause sharp point to form in the reglazed surface. (see #2 below) You should be aware that this is a great solution to remodeling and otherwise expensive upgrades, but you are not buying a new tub or tile and should recognize this as an affordable alternative and while we seek perfection it cannot always be possible. Although the refinished surface can be put back into full use after this time, the surface will actually require up to 90 days to completely cure

Please observe the following

1. During the refinishing process, masking tape was used, which will protect other surfaces during the drying and
curing, but which can be removed by the customer. Remove this masking tape after the initial down time, but
within one week after the designated down time. Care should be taken when removing the masking from wallpaper,
or painted surfaces, so remove the masking slowly and carefully with a razor blade if necessary. This will release the glaze from the tape so it is not lifted wiwth the tape. (see note at the end of instructions).

2. Clean the finish regularly with soap and sponge (this is called surface conditioning). PLEASE NOTE: All newly
refinished surfaces will have some surface dust which will have settled into the new surface. Do not be alarmed;
because the surface is still within its long term cure period, normal use and regular cleaning will usually remove all
minor surface dust marks.

3. When removing the masking from around the drain area, be careful not to break the seal around the drain shoe. Any glaze which is left on the surface of the drain shoe can be carefully removed with a razor blade or knife.

4. Be sure to towel dry surface if water does not evaporate quickly.

DO'S AND DON'TS

1. DON’T use any abrasive cleaners on or near the refinished surface. Your new, glossy finish is easily cleaned
with any mild liquid cleaner, and should be cleaned after each use. The following cleaners are approved for
use: Fantastic, 409, Lysol Tub & Tile and Scrubbing Bubbles.
2. DON’T use any abrasive scrubbing pads, such as Scotch Brite or any similar scrubbing pads, as this will
scratch the new surface. Use a sponge that can be used on Teflon.
3. DON’T drop sharp or heavy objects on the finish.
4. Faucets must be properly maintained by owner and user, to protect the new surface. Leaky faucets will
erode the new finish, causing it to crack and wear out prematurely.
5. Destruction of the finish may occur through improper use of acid bearing compounds, such as drain openers
or tile and grout cleaners. All chemicals must be kept away from the finish. These chemicals include, but are
not limited to, cosmetics, hair dyes, and perfumes, which may stain and mar the finish. Introduction of any
of these chemicals onto the finish would be considered neglect and possibly void any guarantee.
6. DON’T use a rubber mat or anything else with suction cups. Most mats will produce a reaction with the new
surface when subjected to hot water.
7. DON’T use Soft Scrub, Comet, Ajax, or SOS Pads. NO ABRASIVES AT ALL! Abrasives are damaging to all
surfaces. The new surface will clean easily with any of the cleaners indicated above and a soft sponge.
8. DON’T pick surface dust off with your finger. Any surface dust will likely dissipate in 3-4 weeks with normal
cleaning and usage. Waxing also helps with Meguilar’s show wax for cars.
9. DON’T let workers stand in a reglazed tub with their shoes on. Have them remove shoes and put a soft
towel down.
10. DON’T leave any bottles, spray cans, wet cloths or bar soap on the surface for more than 24 hours. (Rust
from shaving cans will damage the surface.)
11. DON’T wash any pets in tub or sink.
12. DON’T expose surface to extreme heat. Keep hot objects away from refinished item.
13. DON’T drag or drop any objects on the finish, which may cause it to chip, scrape or mar the finish. If the
finish does get chipped, it must be repaired immediately. This is man made and not part of the warranty.
There is a minimum charge of $65. If it is not repaired, water will get underneath and the finish will begin to
fail.
14. DON’T use refinished surface to clean brushes or any painting related chemicals or materials. Keep harsh
chemicals away from surface. Don’t clean or store sharp or abrasive items on surface.

15. DO use liquid soap or body washes as they rinse away easily with water and help prevent soap residue.
16. DO maintain caulking. Caulking/ and or grouting is not warranted.
17. DO make sure the room is well ventilated.
18. DO make sure there are no holes or gaps in any grout or caulking in your shower. This will lead to wall
damage and a costly repair.
19. DO keep surface clean and free of wetness for extended periods.
20. DO wax your refinished surface two weeks after it is done and once every 1-3 months thereafter. Use
regular auto wax and DO NOT OVER BUFF. Start by thoroughly cleaning the surface then gently wiping dry.
Then apply a light thin coat of wax with a damp cloth using a circular motion. Wipe excess wax with a soft
dry cotton towel. 

Remember, if you treat your new surface with respect, clean it regularly and follow the above guidelines, your
fixture will stay shiny and bright and give you many years of trouble free service.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Due to the fact that this is a thick resin, special care is necessary to remove the tape after the
drying time. We recommend having the technician to remove tape and caulk for a nominal fee. We cannot be
responsible for the removal of resin due to improper tape removal. If a touch up is needed to repair resin removal,
there is a minimum charge of $75 and up. If you do not repair it, the warranty is void. There are situations where
the job has to be redone and full price must be paid to redo it.
