What is shower pan casting?
Shower pan casting is the latest and greatest development in bathroom refurbishment!
Much like traditional spray refinishing it has a 24 hr cure time, but like a liner it can stand up to bleach and suction cup bathmats. This unique synthetic porcelain resin is poured over the shower pan’s surface which not only provides excellent adhesion for this permanent coating but is about five times thicker than traditional spray refinishing. Making this the most durable refurbishment solution on the market, and it is backed with a 10 year warranty. Although proper care of the new surface can help it last over 25 years!
What’s involved with our bathtub casting process?
- Professional prep and cleaning of the surface prior to coating application.
- Removal of the existing caulking from perimeter of the surface.
- Major and minor repairs (i.e. chips, cracks, rust).
- Acid Etch.
- Sanding.
- Application of coating that is 5x thicker than traditional spray refinishing.
- 10 year warranty.
To start, we professionally clean the shower pan of any hard water stains, rust, or soap scum. They shower pan can be dirty and wet when the technician arrives allowing you full use of the shower prior to the service. The technician will then remove the existing caulking from the perimeter of the shower pan and repair any chips or cracks in the surface. Then the technician applies a liquid chemical etching substance that removes the gloss from the shower pan and makes the surface more porous. Following the acid etch and sanding of the pan to help the new coating bond to it our technician finally begins the casting process. The unique, self-leveling coating is expertly poured onto the shower pan surface by our in-house trained technician. Their impeccable attention to detail ensures a quality finish that stands the test of time. Since the coating is so thick a re-caulk isn’t needed! That means no more moldy or stained caulk lines to worry about! Plus our 10 year warranty will give you peace of mind for the years to come.
The coating is five times thicker than traditional spray refinishing methods which allows for higher durability. This coating even stands up the the abuse of suctions cup bathmats, which causes the finish on traditionally refinished surfaces to prematurely fail. We guarantee this innovative coating will not peel!
PureCoat is the only permanent solution on the market that doesn’t involve replacement of liners. The coating is so thick it will not peel, chip, or flake like traditionally resurfaced substrates. Like traditional resurfacing it has a 24 hr cure time. We are so confident in our shower pan casting service it is warrantied for 10 years!
PureCoat is 5x thicker than traditionally sprayed on coatings! Sprayed on coatings, without fail, contain solvents which evaporate during the curing process in order to harden the coating. In fact, roughly 50% of the material that is sprayed onto a surface will evaporate during the curing period depending on the refinisher’s material ratios. But PureCoat is categorized as 100% solids and contains no solvents; meaning, what is applied to the shower pan stays on the shower pan. No more paying for coatings that disappear into thin air!
PureCoat is odorless! Unlike traditional spray refinishing there is no chemical odor associated with the casting process. Solvents mixed into spray-on coatings are the cause of the that annoying smell. But PureCoat does not contain any solvents! This non-porous, durable coating has a 20 year lifespan and its odor-free technology provides maximum comfort for the duration of the service. Plus, the casting coating is poured onto the surface eliminating airborne particles that are common with traditional resurfacing services. Making our shower pan casting service the only green refinishing solution on the market! Plus, PureCoat is compliment with most green initiatives.
