Refinishing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Refinishing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Possibly, you’re wondering: Why Refinish?

A: The price of labor and installation, removal and replacement, time, and the mess associated with bathroom remodeling must all be considered when determining the cost of replacement. Refinishing is a great substitute because it increases the value of your home and costs less than 80% less than replacement.

Q: The new finish’s durability is a concern.

A: Bathtubs and enclosures should last approximately ten years with routine maintenance. Because wall tile is subjected to much less damage, it can endure much longer. The surfaces of bathtubs can also be regularly replaced.

Q: When will the bathtub refinishing process be completed?

A: The same day, after the job, is finished. It is impossible to correctly install a normal tub or something larger in “1 or 2 hours,” so be skeptical of any business making this claim. We refer to the period of time between our arrival and departure as the time frame. It will take longer than an hour or two from the time they come until they leave if a single bathtub refinisher uses industry-standard technology and doesn’t make any shortcuts.

Q: I simply refinished my surface. How long till I’m able to utilize it?

A: Enclosures and bathtubs have a 24-hour usage limit. Following the application of the final layer, countertops, and floor tiles can be used after 72 hours. If the repaired area is used or disturbed before the required amount of time has passed for a cure, the guarantee will be void.

Q: Before the technician arrives, are there any preparations I need to make?

A: Yes. Before we refinish, we must fix any leaky faucets, broken tiles, or cracked grout. Also, the water supply and drainage systems of the tub need to be in perfect operating order. Including soaps, shampoos, razors, toothbrushes, curtains, shower rods, hanging caddies, and photographs, all cleaning items should be removed from the area. Any item that a finger can touch ought to be taken away. Before we arrive, you should ideally remove the shower doors and tracks. Before our arrival, all fixtures that might prevent the tile or tub from being refinished, such as pedestal sinks, toilets, vanities, cabinets, or other similar objects, should be taken out of the room. It is optional for you to vacuum and quickly clean the rooms to keep them hygienic, but you are welcome to do so. Surface dust will accumulate on the freshly refinished surface less readily in a clean atmosphere.

Q: What makes reglazing different from refinishing a bathtub?

A: No. Refinishing a bathtub, reglazing a bathtub, refinishing tile, and tile reglazing are all terms used to describe the process of applying a fresh finish to a hard surface. You should be aware that this is not the same as applying brand-new porcelain. Kilns must be used to bake porcelain (oven).

Q: Can I, my family, or my pets be at risk during the procedure?

A: Neither humans nor animals suffer as a result of our procedure. We successfully seal off and ventilate the spaces we work in while using scent to cover any aromas. Within the initial 24 hours, there will still be a fragrance. Everyone has different levels of sensitivity, therefore it is usually best if you are not there when the actual spraying is being done.

Q: Are your services backed by a warranty?

A: Yes. We offer a three-year warranty that protects against walls, tile surrounds, and bathtub finishes flaking or lifting on their own. The estimated lifetime of your finish is different from this, so bear that in mind. If you maintain your finish properly, it might last substantially longer, just like a car would outlive its warranty. For damage brought on by above-ground collisions, we don’t offer coverage. If a touch-up is needed and it is covered by this guarantee, it is your responsibility to get in touch with us as soon as you can. We’ll then finish the work and deliver the goods without charging you any further fees. There will be a service or repair fee applied if an issue is not covered by the conditions of this warranty.

Maintaining & Caring bathroom, bathtub, and tile

  • It is necessary to finish the treatment, after which the surface must dry for 24 hours.
  • After 24 hours, it will be necessary to use caution when removing any paper or masking tape.
  • Every piece of hardware, such as handles, faucets, drains, and other accessories, needs to be installed again within 24 hours.
  • Using suction-cup bath mats is never a smart idea! Any kind of suction cup could damage the surface.
  • Use non-abrasive products only while cleaning. After only one use, completely discard the cleanser. Make sure to use non-bleach cleaning supplies.
  • Shampoo, soap, bath oil, shaving cream, and other toiletry items shouldn’t be kept on the tub’s edge. Due to the chemical composition of these substances, the finish could become damaged over time.
  • You need to address any dripping faucets right away. Rust builds up around drains as a result of water leakage that causes premature wear.
  • Avoid spilling any of the liquid drain cleaners as you carefully pour it into the drain to preserve the completed surface.
  • If you clean the area and utilize it regularly, the majority of the surface dust should disappear in 3–4 weeks. Keep your fingertips away from surface dust removal.
