Q. What is refinishing? 
 
A. Refinishing is the replacement of the original shine with sprayed on modern polymer products that replicate your tub's finish. The procedure is also called reglazing or resurfacing. Our finish is a hard-drying material for the greatest durability, yet remains slightly elastic to prevent against damage from quick temperature changes.

Q. Why isn't it cheaper to buy a new tub?

A. When you compare one or more estimates that reflect the total cost of the installation of a new tub with our price, you will find that New Finish saves time and money! Make sure your estimates include all plumbing costs for labor and fixtures, as well as the cost for replacing wall and floor tile damage in the removal of the old tub. Insist upon receiving a quality replacement tub - not a weekend special. If your present tub is porcelain over cast iron, it is far superior quality than the low-priced replacement tubs on the market today. When you consider the cost of hiring a plumber/contractor as well as purchasing the new tub, you will find that the price far exceeds reglazing your existing fixture. We complete our work in less than one day and there is no mess to clean up after we leave. Therefore, in most cases, we can save you both time and money.

Q. How long does it take to refinish my tub?

A. Normally, between four and six hours, depending on the condition. All work is done in the tub area, and there is no mess for you to clean up. Most of the time is spent conditioning the old tub. There may be some solvents used, and some lining may be required; however, all work is done the same day.

Q. Do you change any of the plumbing fixtures?

A. Plumbing problems (leaks, broken fixtures, etc.) must be resolved before the tub is refinished.
 
Q. What about my shower door?

A. Doors must be removed prior to refinishing the tub. Call us if this is a problem.

Q. Why do different companies charge different prices?

A. It's like anything else you may get in the market place - you get what you pay for. To do a bathtub for only $200, shortcuts are taken, and a cheaper material has to be used. Also, the specialized equipment may not be part of this process.

To reglaze a bathtub professionally so it will look like new and last for many years, there can be no compromise on materials, procedure, or equipment. This will cost a few dollars more but you will be happy with the results.
