THE PROCESS
Here's How it Works

The process I use is a two-component urethane, similar to an epoxy, but only in that it is a two-part mixture.  Most epoxies will dry hard, but they are also brittle, and over time, they will yellow.  The process I use does not yellow - it holds its color extremely well.  In addition to that, some surfaces, like fiberglass and steel tubs, have a tendency to "flex" when you step into them, and the key to my process is that it can expand and contract (flex) with hot and cold water - without cracking out!

Preparation is the Foundation

Successful refinishing depends greatly on how well the surface is prepared, and preparation steps differ depending on the type of surface (porcelain vs. cultured marble or fiberglass) being refinished.  But regardless of the type of surface being refinished, they are always thoroughly cleaned and repaired first as the foundational step.

On porcelain, I use an acid to etch the surface.  On cultured marble and fiberglass, I use a wet/dry sandpaper to "rough up" the surface.  This preparation gives my process something to adhere to.  All areas not being refinished are completely protected by drop cloths and protective masking paper.

It's a Sprayed-On Process

After the surface is prepared, a primer coat is applied.  This is a powerful bonding agent that shares common properties with the top coat which attaches to the surface.  The entire surface will then get a minimum of 4 top coats.

What you end up with looks, feels, and cleans like brand new, and is extremely easy to keep clean.  Cleaning a refinished surface usually takes no more than a washcloth and a very mild liquid or foam cleaner.
