So I decided to get my bathtub refinished by a professional, and let’s just say it didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped. The guy didn’t cover my vanity properly, so now there are all these annoying little white specks all over it. I’ve tried using soap and water to clean it off, but it’s not working. Any tips on how to get rid of them?
Have you tried using a magic eraser?
It’s difficult to understand what you’re saying with Rihanna playing in the background, but I’ll make sure that company takes care of it, no matter what.
Hold off on payment until they fix the damage they caused, they need to make it right.
Take a break
If you’re looking to remove paint, you may want to consider “Goof off”. I’ve personally used it successfully. Just make sure not to leave it on the wood for too long, as it can remove the finish as well. I recommend using a Q-tip to apply a small amount of Goof off and promptly wipe it off.
Give oops a shot!
You could use a magic eraser or goo gone latex paint remover to remove old paint as well.
Professional service providers should not create problems that require another professional to fix.
I totally agree with
Seems like the so-called ‘professional’ should replace your vanity cabinet. That’s what insurance is for.
Did you figure out what the product is? Knowing that might make it easier to remove. Have you informed the person responsible for the mess in the tub? If not, it might be a good idea. They might have a solution to clean it off easily, and it’s important for them to be aware of the situation to prevent it from happening to other customers. I’m sure there’s a simple way to remove it, so don’t worry.
You won’t be able to remove it unless you sand it down and apply a fresh coat of paint.
Do you know what this product is? Knowing what it is may help you figure out how to remove it more effectively. Has the person who used the tub realized they made a mess? If not, you might want to inform them. They could have a solution to clean it easily and it’s important for them to be aware so they can prevent it from happening again. I’m sure there’s a simple way to remove it, so don’t worry.
It’s important for him to return and fix the issue
You might need lacquer thinner or acetone to deal with that.
You should ask him to come over and repair it
So it wasn’t very professional of him. He definitely owes you!
Maybe you could kindly request him to come and repair it using a spray paint that matches, and he can cover the costs.
Let me clarify a few things: the spray on the enamel coating of the tub is a result of the refinishing job. Since this was a warranty repair due to bubbling in their previous work less than a year ago (for which you had already paid), the technician and their supervisor are aware of the situation. They attempted to clean it, but only made it worse. The technician is adamantly denying responsibility, which is quite amusing.
You should reach out to the company and explain that they need to take responsibility for fixing this issue. Let them know that if they refuse, you will need to hire a professional to prove that the problem lies with them. After that, you may consider taking legal action to recover the repair costs and professional fees.
If you’re talking about the coating on the tub, unfortunately there’s no way to remove it without having to strip and repaint your vanity. That coating is made to stay put.
You’ll need to sand or use a paint remover on your vanity and then repaint it. That’s the best way to remove any chemical that might damage the paint. It’s really important for the contractors to make sure everything is covered before they start working. We always cover the floors with ram board, tape, and plastic to protect everything in the room.
Unfortunately, they used epoxy for the tub refinishing and nothing will remove it from the vanity.
The responsibility lies with the contractor. They should be the ones to figure it out.
