FAQ

Are there any offensive fumes with refinishing?

No with our New Eco Process. Yes w/ the traditional method, however, we minimize these fumes/odors by using a sophisticated exhaust system that vents dust and odor to the outside while we work. Some companies use a box fan. That’s simply not enough.

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

Yes, you can. No, we don’t recommend it. DIY kits are limited in strength and durability. They usually fail within a month or two. They typically consist of an epoxy coating that takes up to 5 days to dry and yellows significantly over time. Most kits are rolled or brushed on the fixture, giving an unsightly looking amateur finish. Some kits are sprayed on with an aerosol can, causing uneven coverage, dry spray and drips. The mirror-like finish you really want cannot be achieved without proper training and experience and professional spray equipment.

Does the new finish look the same as the original finish?

Yes, we use a patented polymer that bonds directly to the tub. It has the same look and feel of a new tub.

How long after completion before we can use the tub?

It depends on which process is used – traditional method may require up to 48 hours and only 1 hour with our Eco-Friendly process.

How long does it take?
