Three Basic Ways of Restoration: Acrylic Liner, Filling Bath, Enamelling Baths. What Is Better to Choose?

The bath was worn out, became, rough, badly laundered, and no detergents help, and they make it even worse. Let's try to choose the kind of restoration from all existing, acceptable for you, taking into account your desires and possibilities.

Let's start with the most costly way - an acrylic liner in the bath. Simply put, this is when a plastic bath is inserted from above into your bath. Accordingly, this insert is smaller than the bath in size and the useful volume of the bath is reduced. That the loose leaf did not swing in a bath, between them glue together glue or a mounting foam. If the clutch does not stand, the liner loosens and swings, splashing the floor with water, is equivalent if you insert another glass into the glass with water. Water gets into the space between the insert and the bathroom through the drainage holes (strapping). Some restorers of baths have refused acrylic insertions because of problem claims

A less expensive method and the simplest is a filling bath. This is when in a bucket, liquid acrylic is mixed with the catalyst and poured over the bathtub. Primer is not included in the kit. Well, if the masters made mechanical and chemical (acid) mopping, and if not, then gluing acrylic from the bathroom will be unstable and it is likely that the coating can peel off under various kinds of influences: scratches, chips, temperature changes. If the masters have properly prepared a bath to pour, acrylic (stakril) will hold. And, in general, this method is still raw and little-run-around.

Old and economical way of restoration - enameling of bathtubs, bathing with epoxy systems. The forums have accumulated a lot of feedback, both positive and negative. Someone lasted only a year, and someone 10 years old and it's not yet a chapel. With the strict observance of the technological process: mechanical and chemical cleaning, priming, etc., the service life of the restoration enamel is 5-10 years. Undoubted plus to the above methods is a repeated restoration with the cleaning of the previous coating and the ability to impart any color to the enamel, by mixing the colors.
