Our refinished bathtub, countertop, and tile wall can easily last 8 to 10 years with proper care and maintenance. Most of our customers have their refinished-bathtubs, which still look and feel great even after 10 years.
We use the most advanced coating available. These coatings are designed to stand up to daily use and do not require special care. However, like a bathtub, a refinished or resurfaced surface can be chipped or scratched if it is abused and not taken care of.
No. Most people will have a difficult time telling any difference between a new bathtub and our refinished tub.
A standard sized bathtub, takes only 4 to 6 hours to refinish. The tub will typically be ready to use within 48 hours or sooner. Ask us about our Mega-Fast finish which only cures within 4 hours.
Refinishing costs vary but refinishing will always be a fraction of the total cost of replacing a bathtub or ceramic tile. Replacing a bathtub and surround can easily cost $2000 or more. Refinishing can save you up to 75% compared to the cost of replacement!
The materials we use contain solvents, which are necessary to make the finish hard and durable. 80% to 90% of the smell will be exhausted within the first 4 to 5 hours and substantially gone within a day or two.
We can match an existing color or create almost any custom color of your choice. Our customers also, send us color samples from Home Depot or Lowes for color matching. Custom colors will cost usually more.
Small chips and cracks can usually be repaired during the refinishing process. The repaired chip will be almost invisible.
Refinishing can be for a variety of surfaces including fiberglass shower stalls, kitchen Formica counter tops and other laminates, ceramic tile, cultured marble vanity tops, and acrylic tubs.
Refinishing works extremely well on all types of Formica countertops, tile vanities, and even cultured marble counters. The finish is very durable and easy to clean. It is also very cost effective.
Southeast Refinishing is one of the most experienced refinishing company in America. We are the leader in refinishing techniques and technology for over 20 years. Every customer receives the very best quality and service available.
Each residential tub comes with six-year warranty against peeling or other failure of adhesion for bathtubs, wall tile, and fiberglass. Each commercial tub comes with one-year warranty against peeling or other failure of adhesion for bathtubs, wall tile, and fiberglass. Chips, cracks, rust, man-made damages can be fixed but are not covered under warranty.
Care instructions are similar to those for most brand new bathtubs or new countertops. You cannot use cleaners that contain abrasives, harsh acids, or bleach. Most worn bathtubs, sinks and tile become worn and dull due to abrasive cleansers, not from time.
Liners are at least twice as expensive as refinishing and can take up to 3 to 4 weeks from ordering to installation. Refinishing is less expensive and can be done in 4~6 hours.
