About the process

Resurfacing, re-glazing, and refinishing are all interchangeable terms for the same process. This process is where a chemical coating, most commonly epoxy, is applied over the existing finish of a fixture. Most commonly this is applied to bathtubs, tiles, sinks, and in some cases, floors. The process includes stripping, if needed as in the case of previously resurfaced (or painted in ANY WAY) fixtures, acid washing, sanding, and then masking the surrounding area, at which point we can apply a primer, and 4 coats of the high gloss, sprayed on epoxy finish. After drying to the touch, unmasking and caulking of any applicable edges.

Resurfacing tiles, each job must be evaluated individually, but the average sized bathroom (approx. 100 sq. ft. of tile) with a bathtub can be completed in as little as one day. Resurfacing in a variety of colors based upon several of the major paint, or bath fixture manufacturers color charts, in some cases and matching an existing color provided can also be done. This process can be applied to fiberglass, plastic, porcelain, and previously resurfaced bathtubs. This process can be guaranteed for up to 5 years against peeling, cracking, crazing, or any workmanship defects. With proper care and maintenance your fixture can last 6-10 years or longer. Proper care includes using only non-abrasive cleaners, you may not use automatic shower cleaners, and should you find the need for using a matt for showering, you need to let the material cure for approximately 2 weeks and you must remove it after each use.
