Why Choose Fiberglass Resurfacing for Your Church Baptistry?

Baptismal fonts, like any water-retaining structure, require maintenance over time to ensure they stay functional and beautiful. Problems like leaks, rust, and worn appearances are common as baptistries age, but replacing an entire font is costly and disruptive. At American Pools, we offer a superior solution through our exclusive Fibexx Process, an innovative fiberglass resurfacing method that saves churches money while delivering a durable, leak-proof finish.

Cost-Effective Resurfacing with the Fibexx Process

Resurfacing your baptistry with the Fibexx Process is a cost-effective alternative to a complete replacement. Removing and reinstalling a baptistry is a major project, involving not just the removal of the font but also modifications to surrounding walls, plumbing, and electrical systems. These renovations can cost thousands of dollars and take weeks to complete. With the Fibexx Process, you’re able to avoid these additional expenses and hassles.

The Fibexx Process creates a new, leak-proof shell inside your existing baptistry, eliminating the need for disruptive construction work and saving on labor and materials. For churches on a budget, resurfacing is a smart, responsible choice.

Long-Lasting, Low-Maintenance Solution

Our Fibexx Process uses multiple fiberglass-reinforced layers bonded with epoxy polyester resins. This creates a strong, smooth surface that resists leaks and requires minimal upkeep. Unlike paints and coatings that can chip, peel, or fade, Fibexx is designed to withstand the conditions of a water-filled font, providing a durable finish that doesn’t require frequent touch-ups.

Since it’s a “shell within a shell,” the new surface is resistant to damage from water, chemicals, and temperature changes, extending the life of your baptistry by decades.

Compatible with Any Baptistry Material

One of the standout advantages of the Fibexx Process is its compatibility with almost any surface type. Whether your baptistry is made of masonry, tile, metal, wood, or even older fiberglass, our specialized process bonds securely to the existing surface. This versatility means we can repair and restore baptistries of various designs, materials, and conditions, giving each one a fresh and durable look that meets the aesthetic and structural needs of your facility.

Guaranteed Quality and Peace of Mind

When it comes to renovations and repairs, churches want reassurance that they’re investing in a quality solution. The Fibexx Process has been trusted since 1986, with hundreds of successful projects across the United States. It comes with a 10-year limited structural warranty against leaks, providing long-term peace of mind for congregations.

American Pools, a trusted company since 1971, is fully insured and has a reputation for completing projects on time and on budget. Our in-house team handles all aspects of the process, ensuring the highest quality standards at every stage of the project.

Sustainable and Aesthetic Benefits

Resurfacing instead of replacing also has environmental benefits. By preserving your current baptistry, you’re reducing waste and avoiding the carbon footprint associated with new materials and construction. This eco-conscious choice aligns with the stewardship values held by many churches.
