Fiberglass Tub Repair
One of our most common services when it comes to bathtub crack repair are damaged fiberglass units; both tub/shower combos and shower stalls. Years ago, most builders and remodelers changed to acrylics and fiberglass. These products are much easier to handle and install than the old-style porcelain bathtubs and sinks. For the most part they are durable but cannot match the strength and longevity of the heavy cast-iron or even a pressed metal tub. Another great advantage fiberglass added to the bathroom was the one-piece tub/shower combo unit… we commonly refer to as inserts; I can’t swear that’s the official term but it’s helps us in the refinishing world differentiate inserts from the standard size bathtub. These one-piece tub inserts took the place of the tub and tile surround and made maintenance and cleaning much easier due to its design… a molded one-piece unit with no seams! That means less area for dirt, mold, and mildew to hide and build up! Fiberglass tub repair Plano can save that unit for you.
When an insert unit breaks though, the homeowner has a real dilemma… The inserts are larger than the standard doorway to a bathroom so it’s not as simple as tearing the cracked tub out and putting a new insert in… unless you want to tear down a wall. I can safely say, most people want a simpler solution! Bathtub Refinishing Plano offers fiberglass tub repair to reinforce and repair your unit that has cracked. This saves our customers time and money. We can typically do a bathtub crack repair Plano in just ONE DAY! This also keeps that nice one-piece molded unit in place rather than having to put a standard tub in and then build a shower surround above it. Instead of $3500 to $4000, we can complete a bathtub crack repair for about $400 if we are working on a tub that’s in the white, almond, or bone color family. To changed color, would run a little more but you’re still saving at least 75% over replacement!
Bathtub Repair Near Me – Your Search Phrase for Help
Google is such an amazing tool that many times we forget to simply sit at our computer or grab our phone as tell Google “find bathtub repair near me!” This query should bring you several great options to talk to. Most are bathtub refinishing contractors like us, but not everyone does fiberglass crack repair the same way. There are generally 3 approaches:
Expanding Foam and Fiberglass: Small holes are drilled in your tub bottom so that expanding foam can be sprayed to provide structural support. Manufacturers specify that a support should be spread under fiberglass units before installation, but there are VERY few builders or home remodelers that take this step. That big void needs to be filled to properly support the tub bottom.
Fiberglass Patch: A less invasive, but not as strong repair can be done by placing multiple layers of fiberglass mesh and resin to reinforce that bathtub crack repair. This looks that same as the method mentioned above, but for obvious reasons is more prone to re-cracking.
Acrylic Inlay: These are small sheets of acrylic typically custom cut to fit the tub or shower bottom. A strong 2-part chemical adhesive is used to bond the inlay to the damaged tub bottom. Most refinishers will also drill holes and pump foam for support. They are good products and every bit as effective as expanding foam and fiberglass. We did them for years but found we could provide faster service by not spending the extra time needed to order the custom cut acrylic.
Bathtub Repair Near Me is a search that can save you time and money. We can complete nearly all repairs in a day AND help you keep the valuable one-piece insert in your bathroom. If you find us thru your bathtub repair near me search, be sure and ask us about removing shower doors when doing your unit. Shower doors are hard to keep clean but many homeowners live with them because they don’t want to deal with the holes and crack removing them would leave. Bathtub Refinishing Plano can make those disappear so you can have a beautiful tub and no shower doors.
