The process for refinshing a bathtub
Surface refinishing is a proven, nearly 30 year old process, in which worn out or damaged bathtubs, sinks, ceramic tile, fiberglass shower stalls, and even laminate countertops are returned to a like new look and feel without the expensive cost of replacement.
Old, ugly surfaces are repaired and then restored by applying a new finish using hi-tech acrylic coatings. These advanced coatings, create incredibly hard and durable finishes. In fact, most people cannot tell any difference between a refinished surface and a new one...the results are that good!
Saving time and money are the primary reasons homeowners, as well as hotel and property managers, choose professional refinishing. Cost savings are as high as 75% over replacement or bathtub liners, and the process only takes one day. Refinishing always wins when compared to the total cost of tear out, plumbers, and tile setters, plus the time and mess involved with replacement.
Redecorating and makeovers are the latest reasons people are using refinishing. You can turn an outdated blue, pink or green tub to white or any color to match your decor'. Refinishing is a cost effective decorating alternative for those who want a total makeover look for their bathroom or kitchen without the total makeover cost and hassle!
Your home comes first:

Surface preparation is very important:
The bathtub's surface is cleaned using a special two-step process to remove soap film, oils, and mineral deposits. Special abrasive materials are used to ensure a thoroughly clean and smooth surface. Chips, scratches and other damaged areas are filled and repaired.
Making it stick - the critical difference:
The key to a good refinishing job is getting the new finish to stick in and not on to the old surface. In order to this you must apply a chemical called "etch" this product is designed to degloss & clean the surface so that the new coating will bond properly. Failure to use this product will shorten the life span of the the new finish and eventually create it to peel.
The new surface:
An acrylic top coating, in the color of your choice, is applied with a fine finish spray compressor to create a durable, long lasting surface. Finishes are available in either gloss white or American standard bone, if you have a custom color in mind it will cost an additional $75.00.
