FAQ's
How much does it cost?
The cost of refinishing the particular area of interest varies on personal taste and preference. However the average cost is around 80% less than replacing or remodeling.
How much will I save with bathtub refinishing as opposed to replacement?
Refinishing your bathtub with Advanced Resurfacing will save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars over bathtub replacement. While a brand new bathtub may only cost $300, there can often be several hidden costs to replacement such as removal and disposal cost, plumbing alterations, and tile work. These costs add up, and you can easily end up spending nearly $2,500 to replace your bathtub. The cost of refinishing varies depending on the size of your tub.
How long does the bathtub refinishing process take?
Our refinishing process typically only takes 3-4hours to complete. Your bathtub will usually be ready within another 4-5 hours after that, depending on factors like ambient temperatures and humidity. Why wait days or even weeks for a contractor to replace your bathtub when you can get the same results in only 8-10 hours?
How long will my bathtub last?
The durability of a bathtub refinished by Advanced Resurfacing is very similar to that of a brand new bathtub. If properly maintained and no abrasive chemicals are used for cleaning it will last you many years just as a brand new bathtub would.

Will my refinished bathtub look like it has been painted?
Absolutely not. Your bathtub will not look like it was painted, since the material we use is an industrial high solids coating, manufactured specifically for bathtubs, not a paint. In fact, our technicians pride themselves on the fact that it is quite difficult for an untrained eye to tell the difference between a brand new bathtub and one that has been refinished by reFinishing Touches LLC.
Will my refinished bathtub smell like it has been painted?
Our technicians come equipped with full ventilation systems to expunge the fumes that do naturally occur with the use of solvents. Although you may notice a slight odor after we are finished, this typically is gone in a few hours.

Can you refinish a tub that has been already refinished?
