Q: What types of fixtures do you resurface?
A: We specialize in the resurfacing of porcelain, enamel, and fiberglass bathtubs. We also resurface ceramic tiles and certain sinks.

Q: How much money am I actually saving by resurfacing rather than replacing?
A: The common misconception is that a $250 bathtub found at the store results in a $250 tub replacement. That is true, if you happen to be a contractor or serious handyman with free access to all of the tools and supplies needed to install it. If not, consider the cost of hiring a contractor and purchasing the tiles, sealers, joists and plumbing supplies that will be necessary to install your $250 tub. The price tag just went up.

Q: Can you do chip repairs?
A: We can fill, sand and refinish a variety of chips and scratches in many hard surfaces. Chip repairs can be done in the process of resurfacing, or separately. Many contractors call us to repair new tubs and sinks that have been damaged during installation. Note that most times these occur on new bathtubs, due mainly to the poor materials used currently in manufacturing.

Q: What colors are available?
A: We always carry white and bisque. Any Sherman Williams color can be matched as well, for a fee. And if you know the brand and color of that new toilet you installed, we can match that too.

Q: Are the fumes strong?
A: Our first step is always to determine and set up equipment to maximize ventilation. Proper ventilation is crucial not only to reduce fumes and odors, but to manage airborne dust as well. Proper venting also circulates air, providing for faster drying time of our coatings and a better finish.

Q: How do I care for a resurfaced fixture?
A: The key to maintaining any coating is to clean it regularly, and only with a non-abrasive cleaner recommended for acrylics. Our coating being acrylic enamel will remain glossy and hard for a lifetime if cleaned properly. Additionally, standing water (over long periods of time) is damaging to anything it sits on, so it is best to avoid puddles of water from sitting in the corners of your tub or around the drain. Chances are we are resurfacing your fixture because of damage from standing water.

Q: How long does a typical job take to perform?
A: Resurfacing a bathtub generally takes 4 hours, depending on the condition. A tub that has been resurfaced once before requires a stripping procedure that adds time to the job. A tub with extensive damage will take longer as well. The time it takes us to resurface ceramic tile is relative to the size of the area. Most tile jobs can be ready for use in 72 hours.

Q: Another company claims to use safer materials and spend up to eight hours. Are they better?
A: There are no “safe” materials. Any product that is sprayed contains solvents, which can be harmful if not ventilated properly. Any coating without solvents would be a brushed on application, which looks, feels, cleans and peels like paint. To properly prep and reglaze a standard bathtub should not take more than four hours if the technician is experienced. Do your research and make sure you find a reputable company. The answer is if it takes a technician longer to complete a job it does not mean it’s a better job.
