Absolutely. White Tub Refinishing fully supports their efforts!
Yes. Our positive ventilation system promptly removes any dust or overspray from the areas. We also cover and safeguard all surrounding fixtures and surfaces.
In 24 hours, the reglazing will dry and be usable. Not 48 or 72 hours like some materials, and if you’d like, we can accommodate you with a 4-hour cure product so you can use your fixture that very day.
It only takes a few hours to reglaze a bathtub. In under a day, we can redecorate your complete bathroom!
Reglazing is used to refurbish ceramic, fiberglass, porcelain, and acrylic surfaces. Your exercise baths and tiling can be reglazed to bring them back to life in just a few hours and for a fraction of the replacement price. Your fixtures have undoubtedly lost their original appearance over the years, primarily due to abrasive, harsh cleaning products. Additionally, the surface has grown so porous that it is impossible to keep clean. Like a sponge absorbs water, the roughened surface traps dirt and soap scum. Perhaps someone dumped a heavy object on you, chipping or harming the surface. Improper use of drain cleaners or other chemicals may have seriously harmed the tub. Perhaps something has seriously discolored your fixture. Your tile may be getting old and crazing, discoloring or losing its sheen. Perhaps a pot that was left on the counter too long burned it. Your tile’s grout may be aging and difficult to keep clean.

Your new finish should last 10-15 years or longer with proper maintenance.
No. With the help of our reglazing process, we can match the color of any light, or you can select from a wide range of trendy hues.
Simply clear the tub area of all personal stuff. Make sure the drain is not clogged and the faucet is not leaking.
Refinishing, reglazing, and glazing all mean the same thing. For the action of adding a finish to a surface or removing one, we professionals use the phrase “refinish.”
We bill by the nature/condition of the project. We consider things like the tub’s size, location, condition, and requests for custom colors, in addition to things like rust treatment, crack repair, and porcelain or fiberglass tubs. Refinishing a tub will often cost 60 and 70 percent less than replacing it.
We do not use rollers. Our coating is sprayed using HVLP (high volume, low pressure) technology. With customized guns, we employ five or six-stage turbines.
Every task is scheduled at least one week in advance. Call (619) 7777-5724 to reach us.
We do, indeed. We will stripe the surface if the tub, sink, or tile has previously been refinished and the glaze is easily removable. To remove the old glazing, we employ chemicals and powerful acids. We stripe only ceramic tiles, porcelain sinks, and bathtubs. We don’t stripe the surface of fiberglass (it will ruin the bathtub or shower forever). Be wary of companies who provide this chemical technique on fake surfaces made of fiberglass, acrylic, Formica, or marble.
The glaze dries in 48 hours. In around 14 days, the finish will cure (to complete harden to the substrate). But after two days, you can use the tub. After we refinish your project, please use it sparingly for two weeks.
We do, indeed. We’ll sand the surface, chemically wash it with acid, and then apply a brand-new finish.
Generally speaking, we refurbish kitchens and bathrooms. Porcelain, fiberglass, ceramic, Formica, and acrylic surfaces are a few examples of surfaces.
It will take roughly 5 to 6 hours to refinish a tub.
We can, yes. We use specific resins to fix any spots of rust. Before we complete, we fix those problems.
For example, a porcelain bathtub can survive for at least five years. You must adhere to our maintenance guidelines. The lifespan of a fiberglass bathtub is 5–20 years. The technician’s instructions for doing maintenance must be followed, or you can read them on our website.
Yes, you, your children, and your pets are welcome to remain in a bedroom while the coatings are being sprayed. Strong fumes will be present. We employ an industrial ventilation fan with a 32-foot-long duct to remove the fumes. If someone in your household has a lung ailment or another health problem, they should leave the house and stay away for around 24 to 48 hours.
Not at all, no. We have not licensed plumbers. Please call a licensed plumber to fix a leak, remove, or install new hardware.
We do, indeed. Before we refinish your tub, do inform us. We can give the floor a non-slip texture. We roll fine sand with a 60 grit texture onto the tub.
The smoke alarms will go off when you spray. Smoke detectors should be taken out and placed outside the spraying area. Keep fans running in the workspace to keep the air moving if taking down the smoke detectors is not an option.
We bill based on the scope of the assignment. We consider the tub’s condition, location, size, and need to fix any rust, cracks, or chips. Surface types include porcelain, fiberglass, tile, imitation marble, bespoke colors, etc. Refinishing often costs between 60 and 70 percent less than replacing or remodeling.
The majority of our jobs are finished in a single day. To finish large projects, follow-up visits will be necessary.
Without a doubt, we can. We just fixed the tub’s rusty sections. In the majority of situations, we repair the rusty region around the drain or overflow.

Sure, we do. If the sink, tub, or tile has previously been resurfaced, we will stripe the surface. To remove the old glazing, we employ chemicals and powerful acids. We stripe only ceramic tiles, porcelain sinks, and bathtubs. We don’t stripe the surface of fiberglass (will ruin the bathtub or shower forever). Be wary of companies who provide this chemical technique on fake surfaces made of fiberglass, acrylic, Formica, or marble. You’ll be in serious trouble and require a replacement unit. The general population cannot purchase this substance in typical retailers.

We do, indeed. Since all jobs are repairs, refinishers shouldn’t provide any form of warranty for these kinds of projects. However, we adore our clients. After the job is finished, we provide a warranty against peeling or other failures of adhesion. To learn more about the warranty, give us a call. We have terms and conditions for our insurance warranty. After the job is finished, you must adhere to the maintenance instructions that the specialist provides. The guarantee will be instantly void if the tenant, owner, or user fails to follow the guidelines.
We don’t, sorry. We are not licensed plumbers. Only applying synthetic materials is within the scope of our license. We never work as plumbers. You must employ a trained and licensed plumber in California before and after the refinish if you have leaks or need to replace fixtures. Any nicks or dings caused by plumbers or other professionals after we finish the project are not our responsibility. must adhere to the directions given.
For porcelain tubs, we advise waiting two days for the surface to dry and one day for fiberglass tubs. Sinks for the kitchen and bathrooms take two days. Our products dry in 24 hours in case you have an emergency and need to use the tub. Remember to wait 24 hours after the technician sprays the items, which is often about 12 p.m., before using the tub the following day.
We can, yes. A tub that has already undergone refinishing can do so once more. Since the old refinish often peels off, we delaminate the entire surface (chemical stripping).
Porcelain, fiberglass, ceramic tile, cast iron, acrylic, fake marble, and Formica can all be refinished by us. We do not refinish floors.
We do, indeed. Our non-skid additive service is available. We may add this element to the shower or bathtub floor for a slight additional fee. The floor will have a texture.
