The office staff is ready to provide information and guide customers through the refinishing process. We continue to make this a convenient, cost effective way to beautify your bathroom.

Our process involves the use of siliconized epoxy enamel. This enamel was formulated specifically for refinishing, and because it was designed for bathtubs and ceramic tile, it can withstand the abuse these items take on a daily basis. The process works like this. The areas are cleaned, smoothed and etched, allowing the newly applied enamel to interlock with the existing surface. Once prepared, six coats of enamel are applied. This building process creates a durable, high-gloss finish. As the enamel dries, it fuses with the original surface creating an impermeable bond. When completed, your newly refinished bathtub or ceramic tile will be dry to touch in 24 hours, and to allow for proper curing, the bathtub cannot be used for five days after refinishing.  See the Care and Maintenance section.

Refinishing is cost effective and convenient. The money saved over replacement can be spent on beautifying the rest of the bathroom while still keeping you within your budget. In addition to saving money, refinishing restores the original character and quality in your bathtub that you can’t find in today’s bathtubs. We guarantee all refinished bathtubs and ceramic wall tile for five years.
