Questions
» My house is 20 years old and the bathroom tile looks terrible. It's all scratched, stained, and ugly. Replacing it is just too expensive. Is there anything else I can do?
» My kitchen countertops just aren't as pretty as the used to be, and I can't get them clean. Remodeling the kitchen is one option. Are there others?
» I've heard about resurfacing as an alternative to remodeling. Is it less expensive? What about color?
» How long does resurfacing take? How long does it last?

Answers
Resurfacing is a very cost-effective alternative to replacing and remodeling worn out tiles, sinks, tubs, and countertops. The glaze on tubs and tiles wears out over time, leaving the pores of the underlying porcelain exposed to dirt and water impurities. Scrubbing will only make the situation worse.
BathroomResurfacing can be done at a fraction of the cost of replacement. The length of work depends on the size of the job, but a tub can be resurfaced in just 3 - 4 hours, and ready for use again in a minimal amount of time. All work is performed in your home by trained technicians who will leave the work area clean and neat. With normal use and care, the new surface will last for many years.
Resurfacing colors can be matched to any plumbing fixture. We can even custom blend special decorator colors to match your décor. Or, if you’re ready for change, we can provide advice on recoloring. We can even go from a dark color to a light one. The choice is yours completely.
Resurfacing adds years to the life of your fixtures. Rather than replacing them just because they’re worn out or their color is outdated, you can make them look new again. In less than a day you can have the kitchen or bathroom of your dreams, without the nightmare and expense of remodeling.
The process is simple. First, the old, worn, unsightly surface is chemically treated and cleaned. Any chips, scratches or other damaged areas are filled and sanded smooth. Then several layers of our exclusive materials are applied, creating a strong, durable, lustrous finish that is fully guaranteed. Our surface can be regularly cleaned and sanitized with a good liquid cleaner of your choice, yet will remain stain resistant, safe, and beautiful.
All of our products are thoroughly tested and meet the high standards needed to perform as expected on your fixture for many years. We use only the best materials available in the industry and back them up with expert service, installation and a guarantee for your personal reassurance. Our materials are lead free and with our means of exhausting during application, odor is kept to a minimum.
Call us today for a free estimate. A new kitchen or bath will be simpler and less expensive than you ever thought possible.
Why Use an Aliphatic Urethane Coating System?
There are five distinctly different types of urethanes, but virtually all the manufacturers will agree, and extensive industry use has shown, that a fully crosslinked aliphatic, ASTM TYPE 5 urethane is the most durable, and the most practical long term finish available today.
The Crucial Difference: Crosslink Density
The most critical difference between high- and low-density crosslinked coatings is the actual number of chemical bonds hold the molecules together. The higher the crosslinked density of a coating, the higher the overall film toughness and chemical resistance. Since Bathmasters Inc.'s coating is a very high crosslinked system, it offers the most long-term value to your refinished bathtub as compared to other coatings such as low-link urethanes, polyesters, epoxies, or enamels now available.
Formula Characteristics
Film Hardness
Aliphatic urethane coatings were introduced to the U.S. in the 60s primarily for the aerospace industry to protect surfaces that were subjected to sand and ice particles at hundreds of mile per hour. Bathmasters Inc.'s finish is the most resilient and the most popular of these types of urethanes.
The impact durability of Bathmasters Inc.'s finish is superior to other types of coatings and is rated 10 in scuff and mar tests. This durability translates to a tough coating that takes constant abuse with minimum wear.
High Gloss
A distinctive advantage of a high crosslinking aliphatic urethane, like ours, is the resin-rich wear layer that forms at the surface during the curing cycle. This layer provides long-term protection for the pigment particles, improves color and gloss retention and gives that deep, rich gloss associated with high quality urethanes.
UV Screening Agents
Bathmasters, Inc.'s finish has ultraviolet light screening agents U.V.R and ULTRABLOCK protecting the surface against harmful light radiation, which will turn many coatings, particularly epoxies, prematurely yellow. The formula we use extends the lifespan of your refinished product by keeping the finish bright and colorfast, which guarantees long-term satisfaction.
Adhesion
Bathmasters Inc.'s finish offers a precisely crosslinked cured coating system, topcoat to primer, primer to substrate. The superior performance of our bonded coating is a direct result of not just the premium urethane itself, but the capability of the primer system to support the topcoat. This system is truly the most effective for refinishing, particularly the porcelain and ceramic field.
