Frequently Asked Questions

Most refinishing projects are completed in a single day, typically 4-6 hours depending on the scope of work. Bathtubs usually take 4-5 hours, while tile refinishing depends on square footage. After completion, surfaces need 48-72 hours to fully cure before use. We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Refinishing typically costs 50-75% less than replacement. A bathtub refinishing averages $450-$650, while replacement including demolition, new fixtures, and installation can exceed $3,000. Tile refinishing costs $8-$12 per square foot versus $15-$25 per square foot for new tile installation. These savings don't include the additional costs of plumbing modifications, disposal fees, or extended bathroom downtime during replacement.

With proper care and maintenance, refinished surfaces typically last 10-15 years. We use professional-grade materials specifically designed for high-moisture environments. The finish resists chipping, peeling, and discoloration when maintained according to our care guidelines. Regular cleaning with non-abrasive products and avoiding harsh chemicals will maximize the lifespan of your refinished surface.

We refinish bathtubs (porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron), ceramic and porcelain tiles, countertops (laminate, tile, cultured marble), sinks (kitchen and bathroom), shower pans and stalls, and vanity tops. If you're unsure whether your surface is suitable for refinishing, contact us for a free assessment. In most cases, if the underlying structure is sound, we can successfully refinish it.

Yes, when performed by trained professionals. We follow strict safety protocols including proper ventilation, protective equipment, and containment of work areas. During the curing period, we ensure adequate ventilation to dissipate any odors. Once fully cured (48-72 hours), refinished surfaces are completely safe for daily use and produce no ongoing fumes or emissions.

Both options are available. We can match your existing color to maintain consistency, or we can change colors to update your space. We offer a wide range of colors including classic white, almond, bone, contemporary grays, and custom colors. During your consultation, we'll show you color samples and discuss which options work best for your bathroom or kitchen design.

No, you don't need to leave your home. We work in a confined area with proper ventilation. However, we recommend keeping children and pets away from the work area during application and initial curing (first 4-6 hours). The room should remain well-ventilated for 24 hours after completion. You can use other areas of your home normally during the process.

Clean regularly with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths or sponges. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemicals like bleach and ammonia. Rinse thoroughly after each use and wipe dry to prevent water spots. We provide detailed care instructions after every project. Following these guidelines will keep your refinished surface looking beautiful for many years.
