Repair or Replace? The Smart Math Behind Permanent Glasslined Repairs

When a glass-lined vessel fails, most plant managers face a tough decision: patch it again, replace it entirely, or risk more downtime. But with GTI’s Permanent Glasslined Repair Technology, you don’t have to choose between short-term savings and long-term reliability.

Traditional repair methods:

· Often require repeated shutdowns for touch-ups.

· Don’t always restore full corrosion resistance.

· May fail under thermal or mechanical stress.

Full replacement:

· Can mean weeks of lost production.

· Demands major capital spending.

· Often requires custom fabrication and lead times.

Our permanent repair:

· Delivers proven performance in corrosion, abrasion, and thermal shock.

· Minimizes downtime, as many repairs are mobile and completed on-site.

· Costs a fraction of full replacement, with testing data that rivals original linings.

The result? Higher ROI, fewer shutdowns, and better asset utilization. Whether you choose to send your part in to our warehouse or have us come out to your facilities our team of certified technicians will be ready to help your facility stay up and running!
