Lead in Bathtub Glaze
Lead poisoning is the number one preventable health hazard for children in America. Lead has been found in household paint, in vinyl miniblinds, and in household dust. In addition, a little known fact is that many fixtures, such as bathtubs, contain as much as 88% lead in the glaze. In fact, in April of 1995, Good Morning America presented a segment which showed that as late as 1995 some manufacturers were continuing to use the poisonous substance in the glaze for their cast iron, porcelain, and steel enamel tubs.
This is just ONE of the many reasons why Bathtub Reglazing is practical. Your chances of lead exposure from a worn tub is probably 50 – 50 on a tub installed before 1995. You may have considered a tub liner but unfortunately this will not stop this harmful exposure. Is this something that you want your children or yourself exposed to? On our page “Is Bathtub Reglazing Practical” we showed what the simplest of bathtub extractions would consist of and believe me it can turn into a costly nightmare. Reglazing your bathtub will seal in this exposure and allow you to live your life with peace of mind. With this in mind, Bathtub Reglazing is extremely practical not to mention healthy.
