Yes, it's normal to notice some dust particles on the surface after refinishing. Despite thorough cleaning, some dust can settle on the wet surface. This is a common occurrence during the refinishing process. Following our recommended cleaning guidelines will help remove most of the dust within a few weeks. Be sure to avoid picking at the dust, as it can damage the finish and void your warranty.

The duration of the refinishing process varies by fixture and location. Typically, a shower pan takes 1-2 hours, a bathtub takes 1-2 hours, and a bathtub-shower combo takes 3-4 hours to refinish.

A professionally refinished bathtub, when properly maintained, can last over 10 years. For commercial properties like hotels or apartment buildings, the finish typically lasts around 5 years due to heavier usage.

Yes, it’s crucial to fix any leaks before the refinishing process begins. Water dripping onto the surface can interfere with the refinishing, leading to potential issues with the final finish.

We use low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) coatings, but there may still be some odor during the refinishing process. To minimize this, we create negative airflow in the work area and vent fumes outside, ensuring that little to no smell reaches the rest of your home.

Our technicians use advanced ventilation systems to expel fumes from occupied units during the refinishing process. While you might notice a slight odor once the job is done, it usually dissipates within a few hours.

It’s best to keep the bathroom window and door closed while the surface is drying. Opening them can allow dust, dirt, or insects to land on the wet surface, which may affect the quality of the finish. We recommend placing a towel at the base of the door to seal the space.

A standard-size bathtub in reasonable condition only takes 3 to 5 hours to refinish. The bathtub will typically be ready for use within 48 hours due to the curing and crystallization of the paint.

For tile or countertop painting and repairs, we can provide an estimate based on photos provided in advance. This estimate may change if it is found that less detail was provided than what is shown in the images, such as the need for additional support, which can only be assessed by our technician on-site.

All our work is completed in one day.

New acrylic finishes contain solvents necessary to make the finish hard and durable. We use special exhaust fans and ventilators to expel odors from the work area. Odor dissipation depends on various factors, including temperature and the amount of air moved. Generally, most of the odor dissipates within 3 hours after the work is finished. Although there might be no odor and the paint appears dry, the surface should not be used until after 48 hours, allowing for complete curing and creating a beautiful and durable finish! Due to the application odor, we recommend keeping the area well-ventilated and free from people or pets.

Refinishing is an economical renovation alternative to replacing worn out, damaged, hard-to-clean, or simply undesired colored bathtubs, countertops, or tiles. Tub Makeover will repair chips or cracks and restore the surface to look and feel new. You will save thousands of dollars and avoid days or even weeks of demolition mess and expensive replacement.

• Bathtubs: porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, cultured marble, clawfoot, and cast iron.

• Showers: fiberglass, tile, or cultured marble.

• Tile: ceramic, walls, countertops, showers, floors.

• Countertops: laminate, Formica, tile, solid surfaces, cultured marble.

Refinishing can save up to 70% (or more!) over the cost of replacement. A new bathtub's cost starts between $300 and $700. However, the total cost for installation can exceed $3,000!

We can repair many types of bathtubs, including porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, or marble, addressing chips and cracks. For cracked bathtubs with noise when stepped on or detachment from the walls, we can perform support repairs using foam for underneath or side support as needed, and in more severe cases, apply cement for a longer lifespan of the bathtub's support and fixation. Chipped, burnt, or marked tiles can be repaired to restore their natural aesthetic before refinishing. Missing grout will be replaced before refinishing, which also seals the grout for added benefit.

Most repairs are nearly invisible once completed. However, some repairs on fiberglass surfaces may be slightly visible due to the necessary thickness and strength required for durability.

Refinished bathtubs are generally easier to clean than original surfaces. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaning products to preserve the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can dull the shine and damage the surface, just as with a brand-new bathtub.
