1 -Before Cast-iron and
steel tubs with porcelain surfaces can become thin and porous over time, absorbing
soap, body oils and cleaners. This leads to pin holes, rust, chips and exposed
metal areas. Fiberglass and Acrylic tubs are often cracked or fractured. Everyday
wear and tear can chip and scratch any surface, including tubs, sinks, lavatories
and cabinets. Ceramic tiles can become loose or cracked, and grout can mildew
and breakdown over time. |
 | STEP
2 - Trimming the Caulk Existing
caulking is removed. If the subsurface behind the wall is damp, we allow it to
dry, ensuring a strong bond. |
 | STEP
3 - Cleaning the surface The
entire surface to be resurfaced is cleaned. This thorough, professional cleaning
is essential to bond the new surface to the old. |
 | STEP
4 - Surface Prep We
use a cool, controlled surface prep rather than using a hot etching process which
can permanently damage the surface. This creates a strong, mechanical bond between
the surface and the coating. By combining both chemical and mechanical bonds,
we create the strongest bond possible. After testing for the proper surface condition,
the process is completed by chemical neutralization, removing the powder and rinsing.
DreamMaker takes the utmost care to protect the surfaces not to be refinished. |

| STEP
5 - Chip Repair Chips,
cracks and dings are repaired with either a marine epoxy or polyester filler,
whichever is more appropriate for the type of surface being repaired and the location
of the damage. Many companies don't pay attention to this important detail. |
 | STEP
6 - Masking The
entire area is prepared for treatment. Our masking technique ensures the coating
is applied only to the proper surface and that no overspray damages any other
surface. Masking helps create a more ideal spraying environment which produces
the highest quality finish. |
 | STEP
7 - Spraying Bonding Agent
A
chemical bonding agent/primer, provides a bond between the surface and the coating.
It is applied in one coat with high quality spray equipment. An evac unit is used
to remove all fumes. Because our system combines both a mechanical and a chemical
bond, it is far more durable than the single-bond techniques used by many other
companies. |

| STEP
8 - Preparing to Spray The
new finish is mixed from three chemicals: a base, an activator and a reducer.
The Classic Surface coating is activated and allowed to catalyze for at least
30 minutes prior to spraying. It is then reduced and is ready for spraying. |
 | STEP
9 - Spraying the Coating We
then apply three coats of our Classic coating of approximately 3 mils each with
the spray equipment. The precautions we take and the equipment that we use reduces
the amount of overspray and ensures a uniform application. |
 | STEP
10 - After After
drying, it's a whole new look for your bathroom. No more chips, scratches, or
rust with brilliant, contemporary colors. A tough, shining surface that cleans
easily and lasts is yours for a fraction of the cost of traditional remodeling
services. |
