Mr. Tubby Refinishing
See the Difference for Yourself
This is what refinishing actually fixes, rust, stains, dull spots, without tearing anything out. If your tub looks like this, it's not too far gone.
How long does a refinishing job take?
Most tubs take 3 to 5 hours, depending on the shape the surface is in when I start.
How soon can I use the tub after it's done?
The next day.
How do I take care of a newly refinished surface?
Stick to a non-abrasive, mild cleaner. Once it's refinished, the surface (and grout lines, if tile was included) is sealed, so it resists mold, mildew, and dirt on its own. Light cleaning is all it needs. No scrubbing required.
Is "reglazing" the same as "refinishing"?
Yes. Reglazing, resurfacing, refinishing, different words for the same process.
How long does the new finish last?
With normal care, 10+ years, right in line with a brand new fixture.
Will it look painted?
No. What I use is a coating, not paint, and it's applied with a completely different process. Once it's cured, most people can't tell it apart from a brand new surface.
What kinds of repairs do you handle?
Cracks, rust, scratches, chips, dull spots, pitting, discoloration. That goes for tubs and showers as well as kitchen and bathroom countertops.
My fiberglass tub or shower floor is cracked. Can that be fixed?
Yes, in most cases. I can do a structural repair and refinish the area to match, or install a custom waterproof inlay. I'll also address whatever caused the crack in the first place so it doesn't come back. Reach out for pricing.
I'm remodeling my bathroom. Should I refinish before or after?
After. Refinishing is always the last step, once all your other construction work is done.
Do DIY refinishing kits actually work?
Not well. They're rolled or brushed on, or sprayed with aerosol cans, and the results usually show it. Getting a smooth, mirror-like result takes professional spray equipment and materials, not a kit off the shelf.
What other surfaces do you refinish?
Tile, sinks, countertops, and vanities, in addition to tubs and showers.
My tub floor is slippery. Can that be fixed?
Yes. A slip-resistant texture can be built into the floor of the tub as part of the refinishing job. It's finished under the new surface, so it blends in but makes standing in the tub noticeably safer.
