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.
"Why should I use
Perma-Glaze instead of replacing my existing bathtub?"
Put yourself in the position of someone deciding
whether to replace or refinish an existing bathroom. Replacement fixtures
are almost invariably of lesser quality than the original. (They don't
make them like they use to!) Perma-Glaze's refinishing/restoration process
takes hours verses weeks of expensive removal and replacement of bathtubs,
tiles and other fixtures. Additionally, tub removal and replacement
costs average between $1,500 to $3,000. The cost of a Perma-Glaze®
refinishing is a fraction of this average: about 15%. Customers realize
a savings close to 85%!
"Can Perma-Glaze
repair chips and cracks?"
Yes! Perma-Glaze®
can easily restore worn, chipped or broken tile without the hassle or
expense of replacement. Existing fixtures such as bathtubs, sinks, floor,
kitchen and wall tiles, countertops and more can be repaired and resurfaced
for a fraction of replacement costs.
Damaged porcelain, fiberglass, vitreous china, cast
iron, stainless steel, Formica and cultured marble can also be restored
with a matching finish, avoiding the cost along with the inconvenience
of replacement.
Perma-Glaze®
chip repairs result in a like-new finish, durable enough that the same
guarantee of a new fixture is offered by Perma-Glaze®.
The resurfacing process includes original, matte, satin, speckle and
glossy. Perma-Glaze®
can be used to completely refinish a fixture or surface, or to repair
isolated chips to their original finish. Customers are extremely gratified
with Perma-Glaze and the price.
"When I have a
fixture Perma-Glazed, does it require special care or cleaning materials?"
No! The new Perma-Glaze® 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® 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®
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® 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® 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® 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® for my
refinishing needs?"
There are many reasons! Perma-Glaze® is one
of the most established and respected names in the multi-surface restoration
industry. Perma-Glaze® is safer because our products do not contain
harmful polyicocyanate resins. Perma-Glaze® 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.
