The tile in my bathroom is over two decades old and completely worn out. I want to replace it, but simply can't afford to remodel the entire bathroom. What are the costs to reglaze?
Resurfacing is an extremely cost-efficient alternative to replacement. When you add up the costs of plumbers, new tile replacement, disposal and other hidden costs, our resurfacing work averages out to about a third of the cost.
How long does resurfacing or reglazing last?
The durability of our reglazing and resurfacing is applied with specialized training. We are a member of the Professional Bathtub Refinishers Association (PBRA). With proper maintenance and care, the refinishing process should last as long as new surfaces. (See our proper care guide for cleaning and maintenance.)
How much time does resurfacing take?
Generally, resurfacing can be completed in a matter of hours (larger-than-average projects may take longer) and are ready for use within 24 hours of completion.
Can I pick my own colors when refinishing?
Yes. Resurfacing allows you to choose colors to match your existing décor or fit the colors for your remodeling plan. If you have a very specific color in mind, we can create custom blends to get close to an exact match. Just let us know, and we’ll guide you through the process, whether you want minor adjustments or dramatic changes.
Is there any type of warranty?
With proper care, our warranty covers five years for residential and two years for commercial. We are happy to discuss this with you and encourage you to follow proper care procedures. (See our proper care guide for cleaning and maintenance.)
Can coutertops be resurfaced?
Yes. All types of tile, cultured marble, and even formica. We can give you a stone look if that is what you are looking for.
Do you change plumbing fixtures and fix leaks?
No. Plumbing problems, leaks, broken fixtures, etc. must be resolved before refinishing. The reglazing process must stay dry for at least 24 hours as it cures.
Do I need to clean my tub before it gets refinished?
No. Our technicians are skilled and prepare the surface to make sure it is correct. However, if you are currently in the middle of a remodel, sawdust, drywall dust and other particulates must be sealed off. The refinishing process requires a clean environment to prevent contamination. We generally seal off the work area to protect against contaminants.
TIP: How To Clean And Protect Your Newly Reglazed Surface.
A reglazed surface is not like Porcelain where you can scrub and scrub and it seems indestructible. After a surface has been reglazed, you will want to take precautions to keep it fresh and new looking. To clean a reglazed surface, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft sponges. Avoid harsh household chemicals cleaners, abrasive pads, and steam cleaning. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry after cleaning.
