What is Bathtub Refinishing?

Bathtub refinishing is a professional restoration process that renews the surface of your bathtub, sink, or sanitary fixture, giving it a smooth, glossy, and like-new appearance without the cost of replacement. The refinishing process consists of four essential steps: Cleaning, Sanding, Masking, and Spraying.

Our Refinishing Process

Step 1 – Cleaning & Surface Preparation

Our technicians arrive fully equipped and carefully inspect the bathtub. Any loose debris, old silicone (caulking), bumps, or surface imperfections are removed using professional tools. The surface is then thoroughly cleaned and wiped with acetone to remove dirt, grease, and residue.

Note: Clients are requested to remove personal belongings from the bathroom before our technicians arrive.

Step 2 – Sanding

The bathtub is professionally sanded to remove the old finish and prepare the surface for maximum adhesion. Once sanding is complete, all dust and debris are removed, and the bathtub is rinsed and thoroughly dried.

Step 3 – Masking

To prevent overspray and protect surrounding areas, we carefully mask the entire work area.

Protected areas include:

Floors
Walls
Shower fixtures
Drains
Faucets
Toilets
Sinks
Vanities
Nearby surfaces

Professional masking paper and protective coverings ensure a clean, damage-free workspace.

Step 4 – Priming & Spraying

This is the most important stage of the refinishing process.

Our technicians wear professional safety equipment before applying a premium bonding primer to ensure maximum adhesion. Once the primer has cured, we spray up to five coats of high-quality acrylic urethane coating, producing a smooth, durable, and factory-like finish.

Every inch of the bathtub is evenly coated to achieve a flawless appearance and long-lasting protection.
