Frequently asked questions about refinishing

  • What is refinishing?

    Refinishing, also known as resurfacing or re-glazing, involves covering an old, damaged, or worn-out surface with a specialized chemical product to create a like-new appearance. It can be applied to bathtubs, tiles, countertops, sinks, and cabinets

  • How long does the refinishing process take?

    Typically, a standard-sized bathtub can be refinished in 3 to 5 hours, depending on its condition. Countertops and tiles might take a similar amount of time

  • When can I use my refinished tub or surface?

    Most refinished surfaces, including tubs, can be used the very next day. However, floor tiles and countertops might require a 72-hour wait before usage

  • How long will the new finish last?

    With proper care and maintenance, a refinished surface can last 10 to 15 years. Wall tiles may last even longer due to less wear

  • Does a refinished surface look like it has been painted?

    No, a professionally refinished surface will have a deep gloss and look like new porcelain, making it difficult to distinguish from a brand-new surface

  • How do refinishing costs compare to replacement costs?

    Refinishing is significantly cheaper, often saving 70% to 75% compared to the cost of replacement, which involves additional expenses like plumbing and dry-walling

  • What colors are available for refinishing

    Almost any existing color can be matched, and custom colors can also be created. Faux granite finishes are available for countertops and tile surrounds

  • Does the refinishing process produce odors

    While refinishing topcoats contain solvents, a powerful ventilation system is used to exhaust odors to the outside, significantly reducing the smell within a few hours

    Yes, refinishing allows for changing the surface color to any desired shade, including offering faux granite stone finish coatings for countertops and tiles

  • Will my bathtub look painted after refinishing?

    No, the materials used in refinishing are more like coatings than paint, making it hard to tell the difference between a new tub and a refinished one

    Yes, a slip-resistant surface can be integrated into the refinishing process for bathtubs, enhancing safety

  • What if my refinished tub starts peeling?
