What is the process you use for refinishing?
We thoroughly sand, clean and repair chips, cracks, holes, rust, burns, etc... In porcelain, cast iron, steel, fiberglass, cultured marble, or Formica surface/fixtures. We again clean the surface, completely mask off the existing fixture and the surrounding area. Next our technicians bond, prime, and apply several coats of our acrylic coating which produces a hard, shiny, long lasting finish that looks brand new.

Is this the same material that I can buy in a home improvement store?
No. This is a specially formulated series of coatings that are all designed to work together. The durability, hardness, and texture of our applied coatings are far superior to the kits of epoxy that are sold in home improvement stores.

What if my bathtub has been refinished before?
All old resurfacing material should be removed down to the original base before refinishing the area again. There is an additional charge for this service.

Do you change plumbing fixtures?
Surface Pros installs new drains and overflow caps.

Why does Surface Pros replace the drains?
There are several reasons why we insist on either removing and replacing the drain or installing a drop-in drain kit. The drain area is the most susceptible to wear. Remember when a bathtub is manufactured, its porcelain finish is applied without the drain installed. To have a seamless finish we must remove the old drain. If we feel that removing the old drain will possibly create damage , we install a new chrome drop-in drain.The second reason we replace the drains is appearance. You have a beautiful newly refinished tub. Why would you want to reinstall an old, dull, dated drain and overflow cap?

What about heat on the counter top?
Your refinished counter top can withstand temperatures of several hundred degrees. However, prolonged exposure to high heat can damage your Formica counter top.

Do you offer a warranty?
Yes! Surface Pros offers a 5 year residential and 1 year commercial warranty on all of our resurfacing. We provide a written guarantee that the surface will not peel or chip on its own. Please refer to our Warranty information page for complete details.
