What is bathroom refinishing?
Bathroom refinishing services are a cost-effective method to remodeling your bathroom. The process involved a durable top coat being applied to the chosen surface to create a new look. The coat is able to be applied to your tub, tile, sink, toilet, countertops, shower stalls, and more.
Will the results look authentic or will someone be able to tell my tub was refinished?
If you are worried about the end result, you do not have to be. As long as you hire a professional to apply the coat to your tub, you will not be able to tell the tub has been reglazed. You will have results that look authentic.
If you do not hire a professional, you run the risk of seeing signs of damage to the tub and the coating will appear to be painted on, which will result in an inauthentic look.
Is a refinished tub easy to care for?
Yes. Cleaning your tub is simple and easy. Since the tub is refinished, the surface is not porous, which means that it is naturally resistant to mold and mildew growth. All you need to do to clean the tub is to wipe the surface with a non-abrasive sponge and cleaner. You do not have to scrub at all.
Will there be a lingering odor from the glaze?
No. There is a slight odor when the glaze is being applied, but with proper ventilation and our filtration systems, you will not notice the smell to be strong. Once the tub is fully cured, the odor will be gone.
Can you install a non-skid mat to my bathtub?
Yes. We do offer a non-skid bath mat upon request and will install it for you. Our mats are designed to protect the surface of your tub and not scratch or damage the surface once it has been reglazed.
Will you repair any chips, cracks, or rust on my fixtures before they are reglazed?
Yes. We will make tub repairs and fix any blemishes or problems with any of the surfaces before we reglaze them. We have a unique process that allows us to sand down the problem areas and make repairs. Once the fixture is reglazed, you will not see any blemishes.
Can I choose any color I want?
Yes. We offer a wide range of refinishing colors and you can choose any that you would like. To see our colors, please contact us today.
How long will it take reglazed my surfaces?
Our refinishing process takes about 4 to 6 hours to complete depending on the size of the job. For example, a large tub may take 6 hours while a sink may only take 1 hour. Once the glaze has been applied to the surface and cured, you can use the fixture within 24 hours.
Do I need to take any special steps to prepare before you arrive?
You do not need to take any special steps, but we do ask that you make sure the area to be resurfaced is as clean as possible. Our technicians will protect the areas within the bathroom or kitchen to prevent them from getting any glaze on them. We take pride in our work and will cover the doors, handles, counters, cabinets, and any other exposed surfaces. Please note that we may need to open the window in the bathroom or kitchen to help with ventilation.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, we do. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with our warranty to know what is covered. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Will my tub be slippery after it is reglazed?
Reglazed surfaces do tend to be slippery, however, should you be worried about the surface, we do offer non-skid bath mats that can be installed by our team upon request.
