Did you know that nowadays, more and more people are choosing to reglaze their fixtures, tiles and cabinets instead of replacing them? After all, it makes perfect sense to restore your items to their former glory than to buy new ones. However, many people don’t know why refinishing is a better choice. To shed some light on this, we will present to you the top 7 benefits of resurfacing a fixture. We will also show you why reglazing is an ecologically friendly process. Read on!

 

Reglaze, Don’t Replace

Are you tired of the rusty, cracked and dented bathtub? Are you thinking of transforming your bathroom into a cool, modern place? We know, the first thing that comes to your mind is replacing all the fixtures and the wall and floor tiles. You may even be inclined to replace the countertops and the cabinets in your kitchen. However, we have a better option for you: resurfacing.

By reglazing the wall and floor tiles, cabinets, countertops, bathtub, shower stall, sink, and toilet, you can help protect the environment. If you were to replace all these things, you would have to send the old ones to the landfill. Reglazing will bring your fixtures, tiles, countertops and cabinets to their former glory with minimal effort on your part. Protect the environment. Reglaze, don’t replace!

 

The 7 Benefits of Refinishing

When you choose to work with an established company and a team of experienced reglazing experts, resurfacing has many benefits. Here are just 7 of them:

• You can save a lot of money. If you think about it, replacing just the hot tub will set you back more than $2,000. How much more would it cost to replace the tiles and the other fixtures? Resurfacing can be done for just a fraction of the price.
• You don’t have to do demolition or construction work. You don’t have to worry about the mess because there won’t be any. At most, our experts will remove the grouting and then regrout the tiles.
• You can change the color of the fixtures and tiles. Our company enables you to choose from a wide palette of colors for your fixtures and tiles.
• You can prolong the life of the fixtures by up to 8 years. We use professional-grade solutions that will not peel off or discolor for many years.
• You don’t have to pay a waste removal company. Because there is no construction work involved, you don’t have to pay for waste removal.
• The resurfacing process is done in just a couple of hours. While replacing tiles, fixtures and cabinets can take weeks, resurfacing your entire bathroom and kitchen will take just a couple of days.
• The new coating protects you from lead, especially if you have an old porcelain tub. Old porcelain tubes have been shown to contain unsafe levels of lead. The new coating will protect you from this harmful chemical.

The 5 Steps to Refinish a Countertop the Right Way

You are probably thinking that a resurfacing job is quite difficult to do. Well, since our professionals have years of experience refinishing all sorts of countertops, we can do a great job in record time. It’s also worth noting that we use professional-grade agents and equipment. Here are the basic steps involved:

1. First, the area around the countertop is masked to prevent the agents from getting on other surfaces/fixtures.
2. The surface of the countertops is repaired. We will fix any dents or cracks as best as possible.
3. The area to be refinished is thoroughly cleaned. In some cases, we may need to sand down the surface.
4. We will apply an etching agent followed by a bonding agent. These two agents will ensure the coating adheres properly to the surface.
5. The coating is applied using high-pressure equipment. You can use the countertop after the coating cures (in one to two days). You are advised to avoid using any cleaning solutions for 7 days, however.

 

Is a DIY Solution Any Good?

There are do it yourself solutions that one can use to refinish countertops. However, we do not advise you to use them if you want a lasting solution. These DIY kits are not designed to be used for professional resurfacing. In other words, the coating will not adhere properly to the surface and will start to peel off in a couple of months in most cases. The coating is also prone to discoloration and other problems.

If you want your countertops to be refinished correctly, you should hire a reglazing company. Not only will you be able to use the countertops for up to 8 more years, you will also get a warranty. Remember, DIY solutions don’t come with a warranty for a reason.

 

Always Hire Professionals

It is very important to work with a contractor who knows what he’s doing. Refinishing countertops is not something inexperienced contractors should attempt. Not if you want lasting results. Always make sure that the company you are working with sends you licensed and/or insured contractors. Avoid ads you find on Craigslist or Facebook. If you want the contractor to do a good job, you need to make sure he has extensive experience and that he uses professional agents and solutions. You can use a DIY kit yourself, after all. The main reason you are paying for a professional is because you want top quality customer service and a warranty. For top results, get in touch with us.
