Everything you need to know about bath-to-bath technology: details and nuances.

Acrylic liner in the bathroom is a restoration method, which does not include enamel renewal (as opposed to enameling and repairing with liquid acrylic). There is no need for this, because insert is insert, which will serve as a support for your bath. The deceptive simplicity of the method attracted customers for a long time, until it became clear that this technology has a whole bunch of nuances.

Acrylic liner in the bath - disadvantages

  • Acrylic liner in the bath due to its thickness reduces the internal volume of plumbing, and you will feel it.
  • Before installing the insert and after it, you will have to carry out finishing work.
  • The weight limit for a person when using an acrylic insert is 70 kg.
  • You will most likely replace the acrylic liner in the bathroom in 2-3 years, but it is not uncommon for it to become unusable after a month. Sometimes the inserts are uneven in thickness, move away from the main bath or crack.
  • If your liner requires restoration, the work will be very laborious.
  • The acrylic bath liner can only be used for standard elliptical and rectangular bathtubs and sizes 150 and 170 cm.

After studying the technology in detail and making sure that the acrylic liner in the bathtub is not the most successful solution for our customers, the AkrilMos company refused to use it.

Acrylic bathroom liner price

Acrylic liner in the bath, price which is by no means an advantage for the customer, will cost you more than 5,000 - 6,000 rubles. If you've been wondering about plumbing prices, you already know how much a new bathtub can cost.
But already today you can save the funds allocated for the replacement of the bathroom and get sanitary equipment with a glossy and durable acrylic coating for use. This will allow you to achieve technology "Pouring bath"– restoration with liquid acrylic. More details about it are told.

"Bath to bathroom" Technology

Name " Bath to bathroom' speaks for itself. An acrylic insert is attached over a household bathtub. So that you can use it for at least 2-3 years, all preliminary and basic work must be completed.
Work begins with cutting tiles along the sides of the sanitary ware. It is desirable that the tiled side be completely dismantled. Why is this needed? This action opens the edges of the tub to securely attach the insert sides.
Another mandatory point is the replacement of the siphon. This is important in order to qualitatively fix the internal parts of the drain and overflow. In addition, if the siphon is left in place, then later you can only replace it with the insert.
Next, the master installs the liner itself, fixes it with silicone sealant and mounting foam. When the acrylic liner is installed in the bathroom, water is poured into the product so that it finally “sits down” in its place.

Acrylic insert. Are there any advantages?

If this technology did not have positive sides, it would hardly have spread. An acrylic liner can really make your bathtub warmer, thicker and quieter, giving it back its shine and snow-white appearance. It has antibacterial properties, resistant to light mechanical shocks. However, keep in mind that you will get an identical result by choosing liquid acrylic. But at the same time, pay half as much and you will use your bathroom for another 20 years.

A few years ago, the service of restoration of a bathtub with an acrylic liner was quite in demand and popular. The method consisted in the fact that a structure was installed in the bath, completely repeating its shape. After some time, the owners of such baths often face the following problems: cracks on the sides, at the bottom of the bath, as well as peeling of the liner. Unfortunately, such defects make the bath unusable. In this case, do not rush to say goodbye to the bathroom - its replacement can cost a large amount. Order a bathtub restoration service with bulk acrylic, and it will again shine with whiteness and will delight with its beauty for many years. And for starters, you will have to dismantle the acrylic liner, which the Moscow Acryl company will gladly help you with.

Dazzling whiteness!

I have long wanted to update the bath, but I work a lot, and there is no time to deal with dismantling, buying and installing. A friend suggested a way out of the situation. She ordered an insert that took about an hour to install.
The company was advised by VladyshVam. I called and left a request. The specialist arrived quickly enough, did all the work, took water into the bath and said that you can use it in about 8-10 hours. My impressions? I finally saw blue water in my bathtub! dazzling white surface the room itself has even taken on a different look. I regret not doing this earlier.

Why overpay for a new bathroom?

Did a bathroom renovation. We decided to change color scheme, and the usual white bath already pretty fed up. The new tile was the color of the sea wave, and we decided to make the bath in a similar color. I didn’t want to buy a new one, besides, ours completely suited us. Found on the Internet information about the liners. We called the company "VladyshVam", we were offered a choice of several colors. The master arrived, quickly installed, a day later we used the new bathroom. So far, no complaints.

The acrylic insert is a pretty interesting thing. I saw a friend's updated version of the bath. Looks very nice. I decided to restore my old bathroom. On the Internet I found many companies that do this. I chose "Insert to you", as they have quite a serious experience and normal prices. I am very glad!
During the installation process, I had to change the siphon, but it turns out that the new siphon is included in the kit, so you don’t need to pay extra for it. I have been using the bathtub for 3 weeks now and it looks like it was just bought.

Thank you "Insert"

My wife and I decided to update the bathroom. It took a long time to choose the method of restoration. We read that the insert is the most the best way, albeit more expensive than a bulk bath and enameling. It's been 5 months since installation and everything is great! The surface is smooth, perfectly white, it's hard to believe that this is ours. old bath. Familiar people were afraid that the liner could be deformed or peel off. Nothing of the sort happened. Apparently, a lot depends on the master. Ilya installed for us. Our top recommendations!

St. Petersburg

I don't regret applying

We decided to redecorate our bathroom. And when they calculated the upcoming expenses, they were upset. There wasn't enough money for everything. In order to save some money, we decided not to change the old terrible bath, but to update it. We learned that there are special acrylic liners that are installed directly in the bath. We left a request on the site, they called us back very quickly! Given that we have a standard bath, there were no problems with the size of the liner. The master arrived, installed the insert in just 1 hour and said that after 10 hours you can use it.
I love the new bathroom! It looks like it's just from the store. Of the nuances - the work itself seemed noisy.

Thank you for your work

Placed an order for an acrylic liner. The fact is that I have a very old bath, the apartment was inherited from my grandmother. One can only imagine what the bath looked like if it was used for about 30 years. I figured that buying a new one is too expensive, and so there are quite a lot of expenses in connection with the move. I accidentally read an article on the Internet about acrylic liners.
Found a company and called. On the appointed day, master Gennady arrived and quickly installed the liner. Offered several color options, but I chose white. Result: an old cast-iron bath turned into a new one. Looks very nice and washes easily. Special respect to Gennady for a job well done!

Alexander

I really liked the service.

I made a gift to my grandmother - an updated bath. Found this site online and placed an order. Called back almost immediately! Of course, I don’t often place orders via the Internet, maybe it’s like that everywhere, but it surprised me!
A young man named Artyom arrived, took measurements in the bathroom, and a little later began the installation. I did the installation of the liner quickly enough, after that I filled the bathtub with water and said to wait 10 hours, after which you can use it.
During the work he was extremely polite and left a very good impression. There are no complaints about the work itself, my grandmother is delighted!

Very often, our craftsmen are faced with the need to remove the acrylic liner from the bath for subsequent restoration with liquid acrylic (or glass). The service life of the acrylic liner, declared by various manufacturers, reaches up to 20 years. However, in practice it turns out differently.

All problems with inserts in the bath occur for two reasons:

  • wrong;
  • a manufacturing defect in the acrylic insert in the bathtub.

A common mistake in installing the liner is a poor fit to the bath, which causes cracking when uneven physical activity. Also, if the siphon on the bath is installed poorly, leaky, water may get under the liner. This leads to the appearance in the bathroom mold fungus, to bad smell dampness.

Yes, and just sometimes the liner has to be removed due to the fact that the owner behaved with him not carefully enough. In our practice, these are: damage by metal buckets and basins, washing pets without a rubber mat, spilling various paints into the bath, falling heavy objects. All these points lead to the need to re-restoration of the bath, for which you need to remove the damaged liner from it.

For work, you will need a grinder, a spatula, a knife and means of protection against the ingress of sharp fragments of acrylic: gloves, overalls with long sleeves, a face mask.

The first step is to remove the trim from the overflow hole. We leave the drain for later, as water may have accumulated under the liner.

We chip off the ceramic or remove the plastic plinth. It must be removed in any case, since the corner fixes the sides of the liner.

With the help of a grinder, carefully, so as not to damage the bath itself, we cut the liner into several segments.

Remove the cut pieces one by one. In some places, the liner sits firmly on the mounting foam; you can use a spatula or a flat-end screwdriver to pry.

There may be a layer of paint (previous restoration) under the liner. Cleaning to restore the bath with Liquid Acrylic should be especially thorough. Foam and a layer of non-factory enamel must be completely removed.
