Services
Bathtub Refinishing
Our bathtub refinishing service restores worn, stained, or damaged tubs to like-new condition using proprietary chemical bonding technology. This process creates a durable, glossy finish that resists chipping and peeling for 5+ years. Ideal for cast iron, acrylic, and porcelain surfaces, this cost-effective solution saves 75% compared to replacement while maintaining structural integrity.
Tile Resurfacing
Tile resurfacing eliminates stains, scratches, and wear from bathroom tiles through a two-step chemical process. Our non-porous coating creates a seamless, easy-to-clean surface that maintains watertight integrity when combined with Perma Trim caulking. This service extends tile lifespan by 5+ years without demolition or reconstruction.
Shower Restoration
Shower restoration removes soap scum, hard water stains, and surface damage from acrylic showers using specialized abrasion techniques. The process applies a permanent bonding coating that resists mold and mildew growth while maintaining original aesthetics. Most showers complete in under 3 hours with 24-hour usability.
Clawfoot Tub Refinishing
Clawfoot tub refinishing preserves historic fixtures while restoring functionality through targeted surface preparation and chemical bonding. Our process maintains original detailing while creating a durable, glossy finish that resists water damage. This service extends the life of antique tubs without compromising structural integrity or aesthetic value.
Perma Trim Caulking
Perma Trim caulking creates a permanent, flexible seal between tubs, tiles, and fixtures that eliminates water infiltration. This proprietary silicone-free solution bonds permanently to surfaces, preventing mold growth and water damage without requiring reapplication. The system maintains watertight integrity while allowing natural expansion and contraction of materials.
