Project Description
In the quiet, coastal town of Cumberland, Maine, our team at CYR Painting Service took on a unique residential project that required precision, speed, and specialty materials. The scope? A complete paint refresh of a bathroom shower enclosure, using high-performance coatings that could withstand daily moisture, heat, and wear.
This was a two-day projectโmeticulously planned to deliver flawless results in a short window. The homeowner wanted the entire shower area repainted, and not just with standard bathroom paint. This job called for a specialty epoxy finish that would not only restore appearance but also stand up to constant water exposure.
For a job like this, cutting corners is not an option. We brought in Corotech Polyamide Epoxy in High Gloss White, a commercial-grade solution perfect for high-moisture environments. The price for the full projectโincluding prep, materials, and two coats of epoxyโcame in at $1,350.
Background/Story:
The homeowner had originally tried to restore the shower on their own, using standard paint and DIY advice found online. Unfortunately, within months, peeling, discoloration, and mildew began to appear, especially around grout lines and lower panels.
Frustrated but hopeful, they reached out to CYR Painting Service for a consultation. What they wanted was clear: a fresh, clean, durable finish that could stand up to everyday useโwithout constant maintenance or fear of failure.
We took the time to explain why traditional wall paints weren’t built for this kind of environment. Bathrooms, especially showers, demand an industrial-strength approach. Once we introduced them to Corotech Polyamide Epoxy, the homeowner was all in. They were relieved to know we had the experience and product knowledge to handle the job right the first time.
Scope of Services
- Surface Preparation: Cleaned, degreased, and etched all shower surfaces to ensure proper bonding.
- Moisture Check: Verified humidity levels and moisture content before beginning any coatings.
- Masking & Protection: Carefully masked off all adjacent walls, fixtures, and floors to prevent overspray.
- Epoxy Application: Applied two coats of Corotech Polyamide Epoxy using specialized rollers and brushes for a smooth, even finish.
- Ventilation Setup: Used professional exhaust systems to maintain air quality and proper curing conditions.
Paints/Products Used
-
Corotech Polyamide Epoxy (High Gloss White): Used as the primary coating for the entire shower interior to deliver a sleek, water-resistant finish with long-term durability.
-
Painterโs Tape and Poly Sheeting: Used to protect surrounding bathroom surfaces during coating.
-
Industrial Cleaner & Etcher: Applied before painting to remove soap scum, residue, and mineral deposits from walls.
Results:
When the final coat dried, the transformation was striking. The once-faded and peeling shower area now gleamed with a flawless, high-gloss white finish that felt both clean and modern. There were no roller marks, no bubbles, no uneven sectionsโjust smooth, professional-grade results that elevated the entire bathroom.
Even better, the Corotech epoxy gave the homeowner peace of mind. Itโs a product designed to endure steam, heat, and constant moistureโideal for a shower thatโs used every day.
The clientโs reaction was immediate and enthusiastic:
โThis is exactly what I hoped forโand more. The shower looks brand new. You saved me from a full remodel, and the finish is absolutely stunning.โ
At CYR Painting Service, those are the moments we work for. This wasn’t a massive exterior overhaul or a full-house paint jobโbut it was a project that mattered deeply to the homeowner, and we treated it with the same care and professionalism as any large-scale restoration.
