Bathtub Refinishing Industry Facts - Lead Exposure
from Bathtubs
Lead Poisoning... Are You at
Risk?
Lead has long been known to present a health hazard
in our homes. As of the mid ‘90s lead has also been found
in various levels on porcelain fixtures, including bathtubs.
Lead containing glazes have been used in the production of porcelain
fixtures for decades. Some bathtubs show alarming levels of lead
leaching, particularly those with worn surfaces. Lead
Testing Kits are available to determine if you have
this problem in your home.
Because our refinishing coatings are lead free, bathtub refinishing with Beautiful
Finishes will effectively encapsulate the old porcelain and restore
the surface to a glossy new finish, providing home owners with
a safe, easy, and inexpensive alternative to expensive replacement. Use this Refinishing checklist to compare other refinishing companies & different
coating systems before you make your decision.
