How much
will I save with bathtub resurfacing as opposed to replacement?
Refinishing your bathtub with a new finish that will save you hundreds or
even thousands of dollars over bathtub replacement. While a brand new
bathtub may only cost $300, there can often be several hidden costs to
replacement such as removal and disposal costs, plumbing alterations, and
tile work. These costs add up, and you can easily end up spending nearly
$2,500 to replace your bathtub. The cost of refinishing varies depending on
the size of your tub. |
|
How long does the bathtub refinishing
process take?
Our
refinishing process typically only takes 4-5 hours to complete. Your bathtub

|
How long will my bathtub last?
The durability of a refinished bathtub is very similar to that of a brand
new bathtub. If properly maintained and no abrasive chemicals are used for
cleaning it will last you many many years just as a brand new bathtub would.

How do I care for and clean my refinished
bathtub?
Refinished bathtubs are often easier to clean than the original product.
Make sure you use mild, non-abrasive cleaning products. Just as with a new
bathtub, the finish or shine can be dulled by abrasive cleaners.
|
|
Will my refinished
bathtub look like it has been painted?
This is a common myth. Your bathtub will
not look like it was painted, since the material we use is more like a
coating than a paint. In fact, our technicians pride themselves on the fact
that it is quite difficult for an untrained eye to tell the difference
between a brand new bathtub and one that has been refinished. |
|
Will my refinished bathtub smell like it
has been painted?
Our technicians come equipped with full ventilation systems to expunge the
fumes that do naturally occur with the use of solvents. Although you may
notice a slight odor after we are finished, this typically is gone in a few
hours. |

What is the difference between bathtub
resurfacing and bathtub liners?
Unlike our bathtub refinishing process, which is done on-site and in one
day, bathtub liners are manufactured off-site as one-piece, heat-molded
units that are inserted over your original bathtub or shower surface and
then "glued" in place with adhesive caulk. Bathtub liners leave spaces
between the liner and the original surface where moisture can condense and
stagnate. Cracks in the liner can occur, releasing moisture and lead to
unsanitary conditions. With our
process, the new finish becomes a
permanent part of the old fixture. |
|
How does
RJ
Refinishing Solutions
resurfacing process
differ from other competitors?
Some refinishing companies take "short cuts" and like to skip the etching
and priming stages of the refinishing process. Industry wide studies and
laboratory testing have shown that etching is a critical step in the process
in order to maximize adhesion and give the finished product the
longest-lasting durability possible.
|
|
What is acid etching?
Etching porcelain to maximize adhesion is an integral part of the successful
refinishing process and provides superior service life for your refinished
fixtures.
|
|
Can you refinish a tub that has been
already refinished?
Yes, a tub that has been refinished before can be refinished again.
RJ

refinish it so the old coatings are removed. |
