Frequently Asked Questions

- Can my existing fixtures be cleaned or polished to restore the shine they've
lost?
- If your fixture is made of fiberglass, acrylic, or cultured marble, it can - in some
cases - be polished. (Consult your local franchisee). If normal household cleaners fail to
bring back the shine on your other fixtures, your finish has most likely been damaged or
worn and has probably become pitted and porous. The more you scrub, the worse it will be.
- How much does it cost to replace an average tub?
- The cost can vary, depending on the quality of the replacement fixture and the
amount of work and damage done to existing plumbing, tile and plaster; usually $1,500 to
$3,000.
- When I have a fixture Perma-Glazed, does it require special care or
cleaning materials?
- No! The new Perma-Glaze?/sup> finish should be cleaned with a non-abrasive
cleaner just as you would with a new fixture or tile. Abrasives are capable of damaging
even the most durable surfaces.
- Can a single chip in my fixture be repaired?
- Yes! It can be completely blended into the surface.
- Is Perma-Glaze?/sup> real porcelain?
- No, it is a state-of-the-art synthetic glaze which has the luster and texture of
porcelain with unbelievable durability and toughness.
- How long does it take to Perma-Glaze?/sup> a fixture, tile or
appliance?
- Usually a few hours and always less than one day. Most of the time is spent in
preparing the original surface for reglazing. When the Perma-Glaze?/sup> has been
applied, there is only a 48 hour "curing" time required before the fixture can
be used. (Accelerated curing time is, in some cases, available).
- What should I do to prepare the fixture for the Perma-Glaze?/sup>
process?
- Repair or replace any plumbing problems (leaking faucets, broken handles, pipes) and
remove any hardware such as shower doors and tracks which are directly connected to the
tub or sink.
- Will Perma-Glaze?/sup> refinishing cause any damage or harm to
my home or pets?
- Definitely not! Any odors from chemicals we use are exhausted by window or fan and
gone within a few hours.
- Why should I choose Perma-Glaze?/sup> for my refinishing needs?
- There are many reasons! Perma-Glaze?/sup> is one of the most established and
respected names in the multi-surface restoration industry. Perma-Glaze?/sup> is
safer because our products do not contain harmful polyicocyanate resins. Perma-Glaze?/sup>
is also incredibly beautiful, with exceptional shine and depth of gloss.
- Is there a charge for an estimate or inspection?
- No! We realize there is always a question or two not covered in a brochure. Please
call and let us answer it for you, personally.
