Resurfacing (also referred to as reglazing, or resurfacing) is a process that bonds a hard, glossy molecular chemical coating over the existing fixture. This process is most notably used on bathtubs, sinks, and wall tiles. The process begins with cleaning and an acid wash. After that, we sand, and mask, then apply a primer coat and 3 coats of material to achieve a glossy smooth finish. We then unmask and caulk where applicable.

If a resurfaced bathtub is properly maintained and no abrasive chemicals are used for cleaning, the tub may last as long as a new bathtub, which is about 10 to 15 years.

Yes, a resurfaced bathtub may have an odor. New acrylic bathtub finishes contain solvents that make the finish hard and durable. The odor will disappear within 24 to 48 hours, and the finish will be completely cured.

Regrouting is the process where old grout between the tiles is removed and replaced with new grout. This includes removing and replacing the caulking with the new grout. Regrouting improves the appearance of a tiled area at a fraction of the cost of replacing the tiles. If regrouting is done correctly, you can give your tiled surfaces a fresh and new look simply by applying a new layer of grout.

Generally, there are two major reasons to consider resurfacing. 1) If your fixture is hard to clean, stained, or discolored; 2) To spruce up an old bathroom, ie change colors, or just make it look new again.
