FAQS: REFINISHING
What is refinishing?
Refinishing is a process whereby a coating is spray applied to your existing bathtub to restore it to a like-new condition. This is a high gloss, durable coating that is also easy to keep clean.
Is this just paint?
No. Our coating is designed specifically for this application. It is able to withstand immersion, temperature fluctuations, expansion and contraction, and is resistant to soaps, dyes, and other chemicals typically associated with bathtub use.
What colors are available?
We can match the color of any plumbing fixture ever manufactured.
Will my bathtub be easy to clean?
Yes. Our coating is non-porous, which means soap and other stains merely lie on the surface, not underneath. Your refinished bathtub will simply wipe clean, no scrubbing will be necessary.
Why shouldn’t I just replace my bathtub?
Typically, refinishing will save you 85% or more over replacement costs. On top of this, there is none of the construction debris
associated with replacement.
Do I need to bring my bathtub in to you?
No. All work is done in your home.
How long does it take to refinish a bathtub?
In most cases, we will refinish your bathtub within 4 hours.
How soon can I use my tub?
Your refinished bathtub requires a 48 hour curing period. The bathtub must not get wet during this time.
What do I need to do before you come over to refinish my tub?
We need you to put away any items that may be sitting out on the bathtub or vanity. We also need you to remove your shower curtain and any towels that may be hanging in the bathroom.
I don’t have a shower curtain. I have shower doors. How do you refinish around those?
If you want to get rid of your shower doors permanently, we ask that you remove them before we arrive. If you plan on keeping your shower doors, we will remove the doors only, and mask around the track.
I’m planning on doing other work in the bathroom. When should I schedule bathtub refinishing?
In almost all cases, bathtub refinishing should be scheduled last. It is important that we have as little dust and debris as possible in the bathroom when we are working.
My vanity is right next to the bathtub. Do I need to remove it before you arrive?
In most cases this will not be necessary. Refinishing is spray applied, and we can reach enough of the area behind the vanity, so the bathtub will appear to be completely refinished. However, if the vanity is replaced at a later date, it is advisable to replace it with a similar size vanity. If you replaced the vanity with a pedestal sink for instance, you would notice a bare spot on the skirt of your bathtub. In this case, we would have to come out and respray the bathtub.
My bathtub was refinished once before. Can it be refinished again?
Yes.
My faucet is dripping. Will this be a problem?
Yes. The faucet should be fixed before we arrive. The bathtub must be completely dry from the time we begin spraying, through the 48 hour curing period.
Is there anything I need to do after you are finished with your work?
There are a couple of things. First, you will need to allow your bathtub to cure for the full 48 hours. Second, you will need to remove masking paper and tape, and re-caulk your bathtub. We will provide you with instructions and everything you need in order to do this, including a tube of caulking.
How do I take care of my new bathtub?
You will be provided with care and maintenance instructions for your refinished bathtub. Basically, you will need to clean your tub with non-abrasive cleaners, make sure your faucet doesn’t drip, and store your soap and shampoo in a shower caddy.
How long will the refinishing last?
Provided you follow our simple care instructions, your refinished bathtub will give you years of enjoyment.
FAQS: Bathtub Liners and Wall Surrounds
What is a bathtub liner?

Is this a one size fits all product?
No, each liner is custom formed to fit over your existing bathtub.
What colors are available?
Bathtub liners come in white, bone, and almond.
How do you know if you have a liner available for my tub?
We have liners available for almost every bathtub ever manufactured. We also come out to your house to pre-measure before ordering your liner.
How long does the installation take?
Your bathtub liner will be installed in approximately 4 hours.
How soon can I use my tub?
Your bathtub will be ready for use the following morning.
Is there anything I need to do before you arrive?
No, we can work in a finished bathroom.
Is there anything I need to do after you are finished?
No, once our installation is complete, there is nothing to clean up or put away, and we will leave your bathroom clean and intact.
I’m having other work done in my bathroom. When should I schedule the liner installation?
In most cases, liner installation should be scheduled last.
I have shower doors. Will this cause a problem?
We will need to remove the shower doors before our bathtub liner installation, and reinstall them afterwards.
How do I take care of my bathtub liner?
You will be provided with Care and Maintenance instructions. Very simply, you will need to clean with non-abrasive cleaners. Because the acrylic is non-porous, nothing will get under the surface to stain it, so it will easily wipe clean.
