F.A.Q.

1. What is resurfacing?

- Resurfacing, also known as refinishing or reglazing, is the process of applying a new surface coating. The type of material used for the resurfacing will depend on the needs of the particular application. Most commonly an acrylic urethane or an epoxy is used for bathtub refinishing.

There are a number of reasons why bathtub resurfacing might be necessary. One is that the original surface may have been damaged and needs to be repaired. Another reason might be that the original surface has dulled and needs to be restored. Whatever the reason, resurfacing can provide a long-lasting solution that will keep your surfaces looking good for years to come. With proper care a refinished tub can last 10+ years.
