Bath re-surfacing procedure

1. Thorough cleaning of the old surface
2. Heating and drying of the old surface
3. Repair of chips, rusting and pitting
4. Masking surrounding areas
5. Room preparation (dust sheeting, ventilation, dust extraction, etc)
6. Spray on bonding solution
7. Spray on primer (2 applications)
8. Spray on top coating (5-6 applications)
9. Machine polishing of new surface

This is my standard procedure, please remember that not all Bath Re-Surfacing Companies will give your bath the same time and attention that is needed to get the job right first time. This is why I will spend up to 6 hours carrying out the job, not 3.
