Rather than paying for an expensive replacement, worn out or damaged shower pans can be reglazed using the pour-on method with liquid acrylic. This method gives your shower pan a smooth, like-new finish without having to remove it. It’s simple: the shower pan stays in place and gets a bright, new surface. Read on for more information on this easy, time-saving technique.
Shower stalls are a great option for saving space in small bathrooms. They come in different shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: the shower pan, or base.
Of all the components of the shower, the shower pan gets the most use and abuse, so it’s the most prone to wear and damage. Replacing the entire shower stall is an expensive project, especially if it has upgrades or custom features. It can involve extensive renovation, which takes a considerable amount of time and causes a lot of inconvenience while the project is in process.
However, if your shower pan has lost its luster or is damaged, there’s a better option: reglazing with liquid acrylic using the pour-on method. Your shower pan can be restored to its original shine with a durable, long-lasting finish.
Liquid Acrylic is a safe, modern material that is used to renovate the surface of bathroom fixtures, including bathtubs, sinks and shower pans. It breathes new life into old fixtures quickly and easily.
Even damaged shower pans can be restored using this advanced process. Whether your shower pan has surface defects such as fading, staining or scratches, or more serious chipping or even holes, liquid acrylic can repair your shower and revive your bathroom.
Regardless of the extent of the damage, using liquid acrylic dramatically reduces the time, inconvenience and expense of the project because the shower stall does not have to be removed and replaced. Everything stays in place, and in just a few hours your shower is transformed without any of the hassle of replacing it.
It’s especially effective for shower pans that are an unusual size or shape. The expense of replacing non-standard shower stalls can be prohibitive. You may find that a stall of the same dimensions is not even available. Reglazing with liquid acrylic is a simple solution for shower pans of any shape or size.
What does shower pan refinishing cost? Reglazing using the pour-on method with liquid acrylic starts at just $299. Additional services may be required, such as abrasive cleaning for preparing the shower, removing the old coating, dismantling and replacing the spout and drain, repairing chips, and adjusting the level of the slope of the floor.
Liquid acrylic adheres strongly to the surface of the fixture due to its unique composition. It can restore shower pans made of acrylic, cast iron or artificial stone.
The reglazed surface can last up to 15 years without peeling or cracking, all the while keeping its pristine, like-new brilliance. Its beauty and durability are outstanding.
Many modern shower pans have a textured surface, which makes them difficult to renovate with other refinishing methods.
This is not an issue with liquid acrylic. Its thick, pliable consistency makes it ideal for covering any type of surface, whether smooth or textured.
It is made of a proprietary mixture of ingredients that covers the shower pan with a dense but flexible coating. This means that it can be used on all types of surfaces, even those that are damaged, scratched or textured. The result is a consistently smooth, uniform finish.
Liquid acrylic is a leading-edge material that covers completely without bubbles, ridges, drips or bare spots. The results are amazing: your shower pan will look like new for a fraction of the cost and with a short down time.
Shower reglazing (also referred to as shower pan resurfacing or refinishing) is applying a durable protective coating of liquid acrylic to the surface to give it a new look. The process usually includes sanitizing, repairing any damage, and applying the reglazing material.
Reglazing a shower pan is a more affordable and practical option than replacing the entire shower stall, which can be expensive and time consuming. It gives exceptional results with minimum hassle.
Shower pans of all shapes and sizes can be restored using the pour-on method with liquid acrylic without any demolition. Rather than replacing the entire fixture, the shower base is left intact and renovated, which is a simple and convenient process.
In addition, if you want to change the color of your shower pan, reglazing it is an excellent option.
The liquid acrylic material we use is ArmoGlaze, which is safe for you, your children, and the environment, with near zero VOC status. It solidifies and is ready to use in 24 hours. The material and process are odorless and non-toxic during application and after.
This technology has been used since 2011 with outstanding results.
The entire process of preparing and reglazing the shower is quick and convenient, normally taking around 3 hours (depending on the complexity of the work, more complex cases may take up to 4 hours).
The time required for complete drying and hardening of the material is about 24 hours. During the work and subsequent hardening time, there is no smell. Since there is no demolition or extensive renovation, there is much less mess and disruption to your daily routine. Our experienced, professional technicians take the utmost care to leave the work area clean and neat when they finish.
The professionally reglazed finish should last for 7 to 15 years with proper maintenance. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s required maintenance instructions in order to extend the lifespan of the finish.
Our pour-on method lasts several times longer than spray-on techniques and resists peeling.
The good news is that you don’t need harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to keep your reglazed shower clean. In fact, they can damage the surface, so use only cleaners recommended by the manufacturer. Avoid hanging heavy objects on the walls so they won’t fall and cause damage.
Keep the surface dry by using a squeegee or wiping dry with a soft cloth after use to prevent stains and water spots.
