Why Refinish??
Restore your old and worn tub to new
Over time, your bathtub gets worn down with abrasive cleaners, aggressive water and normal wear and tear which makes the surface porous, and impossible to clean. Refinishing creates a slick nonporous finish which looks great, and easy to clean with common tub cleaners.
Update old color schemes
Homes in Hawaii were built with quality components which were meant to last a lifetime. Unfortunately, the designs and color schemes are a thing of the past. Refinishing can bring new life and an updated look to old tubs.
Repair Damaged Tubs
Bathtubs can be damaged through normal use, or from a bad installation job. If left unattended, they can develop into a major problem which can cost huge amounts of money in water damages. Just because there is a nick, chip, or hole doesn't mean you need to replace. Repair and refinish to get the job done right.
