Question 3

Can I change the color of my bathtub?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We can custom match virtually any color. Whether you want to update from an outdated pink or green tub to a modern white, or choose a completely custom color, we can make it happen.

Question 4

How long does the refinishing process take?

Accepted Answer

Refinishing a bathtub normally takes approximately 2–3 hours. The entire process, including preparation and cleanup, is typically completed in 4–5 hours. You can use the surface the very next day.

Question 5

Can chips and cracks be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We can fix cracks, rust, scratches, dull spots, chips, pits, stains, and most imperfections. In fact, repairing damage is one of the major reasons fixtures are refinished.

Question 6

Is refinishing better than replacement?

Accepted Answer

For most situations, yes. Reglazing saves up to 80–90% of replacement cost, takes only hours instead of days or weeks, requires no demolition, and produces a beautiful like-new result. New bathtubs are often inferior to older cast iron or steel tubs.

Question 7

How long before I can use my bathtub after refinishing?

Accepted Answer

With our premium synthetic topcoat, you can use the tub the next day. We recommend waiting 24 hours to ensure the finish has fully cured for maximum durability.

Question 8

What surfaces can be refinished?

Accepted Answer

We refinish porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron, steel, and tile surfaces. This includes bathtubs, showers, tile walls, floor tiles, sinks, and other bathroom fixtures.

Question 9

Is "reglazing" the same as "refinishing" or "resurfacing"?

Accepted Answer

Yes — reglazing, refinishing, and resurfacing all describe the same process of preparing and applying a new topcoat to porcelain, tile, or laminate fixtures.

Question 10

Will my tub look painted?

Accepted Answer

No. The topcoat material is applied with a professional spray gun that leaves a super-smooth, high-gloss finish — identical to the look and feel of a new tub. There are no brush marks.

Question 11

Are there any offensive odors during refinishing?

Accepted Answer

There will be some odors, similar to painting. We minimize these by using a sophisticated exhaust system that vents dust and odors to the outside while we work — far more effective than the box fans some companies use.

Question 12

Can I refinish my tub with a DIY kit from a home improvement store?

Accepted Answer

DIY kits are very limited in strength and durability, typically failing within a month or two. They use epoxy coatings that take days to dry, yellow over time, and produce an amateur finish. Professional results require proper training, experience, and commercial spray equipment.

Question 13

My tub was refinished by someone else and is peeling. What happened?

Accepted Answer

Peeling is almost always caused by shortcuts during the preparation process, resulting in a weak bond between the topcoat and the previous finish. We meticulously prepare every surface so the bond is super strong. We don't skip steps and we use only the best materials available.

Question 14

Do you service all of Westchester County?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We serve all of Westchester County including White Plains, Yonkers, Scarsdale, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, Rye, Mamaroneck, and all surrounding communities. We also serve Putnam County, Dutchess County, Rockland County, and Connecticut.
