FAQ

Frequently asked questions about bathtub and tile refinishing.

If I have my tub refinished how long will it last?
Our technologies provide long lasting finished surfaces.  You should expect 10-15 years worth of service from your refinished fixture.

How long does it usually take to refinish a tub?
Usually about 3 to 5 hours.

My tub was refinished by someone else and is peeling. What happened?
Most likely you have a surface bonding problem.  The company that refinished your tub most likely used either inexpensive, inferior materials, and/or poorly trained personnel.  At Advanced Bathtub Refinishing we only use the finest materials and our technicians are highly trained.

Is it possible to refinish a fiberglass tub enclosure?
Yes!  Fiberglass or gel-coat tubs require a different type of etching process but once completed are just as durable as regular bathtubs.

My fiberglass tub has a large crack in it. Is it ruined or can you fix it?
No, your tub is not necessarily ruined and yes, it is definitely fixable.

How long must I wait to use my newly refinished tub?
About 24 hours.

I heard that when a tub is redone, it gives off an odor.
Yes – but the refinishing odor will go away as the finish cures.

I use my tub to dye my hair. Will it damage or stain my newly refinsihed tub?
No, your new finish is resistant to hair coloring chemicals.

My ceramic tile tub enclosure is a really dated color. Can it be recolored?
YES!  We use the same long lasting refinishing process on your tile that we use on tubs.
