Services
Bathtub Refinishing
Our patented Perma-Ceram Triple Adhesion process restores worn bathtubs to like-new condition. We use specialized coatings imported for durability, combined with acid etching and multi-step preparation to ensure lasting adhesion. This cost-effective solution eliminates replacement costs while providing a glossy, easy-to-clean surface with a 5-year guarantee.
Tile Resurfacing
We refinish bathroom tiles and seal grout lines using our proprietary Porcelaincote mixture. The process eliminates grout scrubbing by creating a smooth, continuous surface while maintaining the original tile design. Our method includes surface preparation with adhesion promoters and multiple coating layers for long-term durability.
Chip Repairs
We repair chips and dents in porcelain, enamel, fiberglass, and cast iron fixtures using refinishing techniques. Our process prevents rust formation and structural damage through acid etching, adhesion promoters, and color-matched coatings. This service extends fixture lifespan at a fraction of replacement costs while maintaining aesthetic integrity.
Fiberglass Unit Refinishing
Our specialists restore fiberglass tubs and showers by sanding surfaces, repairing cracks, and applying our durable Porcelaincote finish. The process eliminates built-up grime and restores glossy surfaces in one day. We address both cosmetic issues and structural concerns like leaks while maintaining the original unit's functionality.
Sink Refinishing
We refinish bathroom sinks using the same technology as our bathtub process, restoring glossy finishes and eliminating stains. Our method includes surface preparation with chemical etching and application of durable, easy-to-clean coatings. This service provides a cost-effective alternative to sink replacement while maintaining original plumbing fixtures.
