1.
Water serves a a catalyst for a peeling reaction.
When a Re-Bath tub liner is installed, our patented system
of quality adhesives will adhere the liner to the original tub for life.
The liner is guaranteed for life not to leak.
2. The smallest gap between the drain flange and the beginning of the porcelain will start a
peeling reaction.
NOTE: It is impossible to
mask the drain perfectly and consistently every time.
Your new Re-Bath tub liner will be an exact copy of your
current tub. The drain flanges will fit tightly on your new bath tub
liner; plumber's putty or similar approved plumbing sealants are used as
if a new tub where installed in your bathroom.
3. The drain is the most
vulnerable part of the bathtub because of water activity.
Re-Bath uses a wide variety of drain adapters to assure a
tight and perfect fit.
4. Any object that falls in
the tub, i.e., razors, shampoo bottles, hair brush, can cause chips
or cracks in the epidermal or outside layer and start a peeling
reaction.
Re-Bath products are made out of a patented and proprietary product called Durabath SSP, the new generation acrylic. Re-Bath tub liners are extremely impact resistant, more durable, stronger and easy to clean. As long as you use the approved cleaners, your liner is guaranteed for life (*) All of our Re-Bath products are UL tested and we are the only company in our field to do so.
5. If any residue is
present after the etching process and is not wiped out, it will
cause a break down in the chemical adhesion process thus starting a
peeling reaction.
There is no etching of any kind when installing the Re-Bath
tub liner.
6. Temperature conditions
play a big part in the success of refinishing. A tub should be at
room temperature when painting. If a tub is too cold or too hot it
will not allow the paint to adhere properly, thus causing a peeling
reaction.
Re-Bath adhesives are developed to provide lifelong
adhesion under any temperature condition.
7.
When applying the paint, if there are any bubbles or air pockets on
the surface of the tub it will not allow the paint to maintain a
constant chemical reaction, thus causing a breakdown and a peeling
reaction.
The Re-Bath tub liner is an exact copy of your tub thus
guaranteeing a tight fit without air pockets.
8. Once a bathtub has been refinished it is
very difficult to successfully refinish again. This is because of a major
inconsistency with the surface of the tub.
The Re-Bath tub liner is good for life, guaranteed
by both the dealer and the manufacturer of the product (*)
9. When refinishing a bathtub, especially one in poor condition, a refinisher will have to apply
generous amounts of paint over a damaged tub to hide its condition. This makes the bathtub extremely
slippery.
NOTE: This is not the case every
time. But most common with polyurethane base paint.
Re-Bath tub liners come standard with "Bath guard", an anti skid surface applied at the factory.
10. Refinishing is very sensitive to the slightest amount of
abrasive and if used will cause a peeling reaction.
Re-Bath tub liners are made out of impact resistant Durabath SSP. Should an occasional scuff mark occur, it can be polished using a fine polishing compound commonly available at any automotive store or "Gel Gloss" which can be bought at your local hardware store.
