What exactly is resurfacing?
Resurfacing is the process of applying a durable and beautiful coating to tubs, tiles, counter tops, cabinets, bathroom stalls and more. It’s an inexpensive alternative to replacement that extends the life of the surface by many years.
Why Resurface instead of Replace?
Resurfacing is a great way to update and make your space fresh and beautiful again! Some great advantages over replacement are:
I would like something slip-resistant to put on the bottom of my tub. Do you offer this service?
Yes. For a small fee, we can apply an anti-skid coating under our top coat which will provide an anti-skid “textured” look and feel.
What type surfaces does your material cover?
Formica, ceramic tile, metal, Corian, cultured marble, granite, quartz, marble, wood, mdf (fiberboard), fiberglass, porcelain, cast iron; just about anything except vinyl. Please inquire.
What is the material made of that is used in this process?
Our first application after an incredible prep job is a molecular bonding agent which is basically a primer for the primer. Next, we apply a 2-part epoxy primer. Lastly, we apply acrylic polyurethane which does NOT yellow and has H5 hardness. It’s as strong as it can get without being brittle.
If my tub has been refinished before, can it be refinished again?
Yes, however, we will likely need to strip off the peeling finish. Because of the extra time and materials involved, this will add to the cost. Also, government regulations are making it harder for companies to use a quality chemical which makes it easier to strip tubs. This is why it is important to hire someone that will provide a quality job in the first place. We will save you time and money today and in years to come. Once we resurface something, we don’t want to resurface it again. Unless you want a new color, of course.
If something is damaged in a tub or on a countertop, can it still be resurfaced?
Absolutely, in fact there’s almost no amount of damage that cannot be fixed. We pride ourselves on our repairs. If you look at our before and after pics through the years, you’ll see hundreds of amazing repairs.
What if I want a custom color?
No problem. We can match any color very closely if not exactly. Sheens are more difficult to match than colors are. We have sheens from Matt, Satin to high gloss. Our gloss is very glossy compared to anything you can get from a local paint shop or home improvement store.
How should I prepare for my resurfacing Project and what should I expect?
