HVLP Polymer urethane Application
Invisible Color Match & Curing
Technicians use industrial HVLP spray equipment to apply multi-layer non-fading polymer coating under bright daylight-balanced control.
We inspect subfloor sag under acrylic or gel-coat tubs, injecting structural support compound to eliminate flexing and deep crack lines.
Holes, rust chips, and severe surface gouges are micro-sanded and patched with high-adhesion chemical bonding agents.
Precision tinting ensures exact match to existing fixtures, curing into a brilliant high-sheen porcelain finish ready for immediate use.

How to Prepare for Bathtub Refinishing
Quick answer: Before bathtub refinishing begins, remove all personal hygiene items from the bathroom. The refinishing process usually takes 0.5 to 1 day to complete. After the tub is refinished, wait 24 to 48 hours for the finish to cure before using it.
Preparation Steps
· Remove all personal hygiene items from the bathroom before refinishing starts.
· Clear the area so the refinisher has safe, easy access to the bathtub.
· Follow any additional preparation instructions from your refinishing professional.
Bathtub Refinishing Timeline
· Refinishing time: 0.5 to 1 day

Can you repair existing cracks, chips, and subfloor sags?
Yes. We complete macro surface repairs, filling porcelain chips, patching acrylic cracks, and carrying out structural subfloor sag correction before priming.
What bathtub materials and surfaces can be reglazed?
We successfully restore worn cast iron, acrylic, gel-coat, fiberglass, steel, porcelain tubs, and surrounding ceramic wall tiles.
How should I clean and maintain my refinished bathtub?
Use gentle, non-abrasive liquid cleansers and a soft sponge. Avoid bleach, wire brushes, or abrasive scouring powders to keep the surface smooth.
How much do I save versus total tub replacement?
How long does the refinishing process take?
Is there any demolition, dust, or overspray mess?
How long will the restored surface finish last?
Refinishing saves up to 85% compared to traditional tear-out and replacement, eliminating expensive plumbing, tile demolition, and multi-day contractor disruptions.
Most residential bathtub restorations take 4 to 6 hours to complete. Your tub will be fully cured and ready for normal shower use in 24 hours.
No demolition is required. We apply heavy paper masking, seal tile lines, and operate high-powered exhaust ventilation systems to keep your home clean.
With proper routine care, our advanced HVLP polymer and epoxy bond coatings deliver a durable, pore-free high-gloss finish lasting 10 to 15 years.
