Bathtub Resurfacing: The Economical Choice
Updating your bathroom doesn’t have to cost a fortune. For less money and less of a mess, you can breathe new life into an old bathroom by refinishing your bathtub. At The Resurfacing Doctor, we make it quick and easy to get the bathroom look you want. Customer satisfaction is important to us and we go out of our way to deliver professional, courteous, and attentive bathtub resurfacing services. We simply will not have it any other way!
Below is a quick breakdown of how the process works:
Your old bathtub most likely has already been resurfaced or refinished once or twice before. We will start by removing the surface of the existing coating and sanding it down to the original surface. We then remove the old caulking if needed as old caulking is normally unsightly and interferes with the application of the coatings.
Porcelain Tubs & Metal Tubs:
We will apply an Acid Etch solution to the tub using a coarse applicator. This ensures that our coatings properly bond with the surface of the bathtub. This creates ‘pores’ & small ‘grooves’ in the tub. With this method, the primer’s bond to the surface is solid for many years of adhesion.
Fiberglass & Plastic Tubs:
- Using coarse sandpaper, we sand and scuff the surface to ensure maximum bonding of our coatings.
- We apply and industrial strength surface cleaner to remove any soap scum, grease, silicone residue and any hard water stains from your tub.
- We then apply another industrial strength bathtub resurfacing preparation cleaner that eliminates any type of molecules from past cleaners & leaves the surface with a true neutral pH level.
- After the tub is properly cleaned, we then repair any damages such as holes or cracks with a filler that is as hard as porcelain. This is done for each and every one of our bathtub resurfacing clients.
- All areas around the tub are masked using painters tape and paper.
- The surface is then wiped down with a tack cloth so it is free of particles and dust.
- An industrial grade exhaust fan with tubing is then added to remove any air-borne particles straight outside.
- We then apply an acrylic-based primer to the bathtub in order to promote maximum adhesion between the product & the surface.
- Lastly, we apply the topcoat consisting of Acrylic Urethane to the bathtub. Acrylic Urethane coatings are the highest impact, UV, chemical and water resistance coating. This makes it the most superior & only material that should be used to re-glaze or resurface.
Remember it is important to care for your refinishing properly once complete!
Push and pull drain kits are also available for purchase. These kits include a new drain with new overflow cap. We can apply these kits over your existing drain with an epoxy. No need to call expensive plumbers. Why take a chance on pipes breaking? Ask to see the drain kits, and we can show you how not only to have a beautiful bathtub, but a beautiful drain too!

Dealing with Matt is a pleasure. I used them to resurface three bathrooms of tile and tubs and they did a fantastic job. Marcelo was terrific and very professional. They do what they say they will do and they do it promptly. This is the third time I've used them and I will recalling them again the next time I need this done in one of my investment properties.
