Refinish your bathroom for a cost effective face-lift!

Is your bath stained, rough or just plain ugly? To improve your bathroom overall it's easy to replace taps and finishings, and as you browse a bathroom fittings store you'll notice that bathtubs are inexpensive. But, with the cost of a plumber, demolition of your old bath tub (to get it out), rubbish removal and tip fees, replacing your bath can become a truly expensive job. But there is an alternative - to hire a refinisher to literally refinish your bath, sink etc. No installation costs, no removal costs, and the whole job can be done in a very short time with no interruption of your cleanliness!

Refinishing is mostly done on site, and of course your refinishing technician will take the necessary precautions to protect the remainder of your bathroom. Refinishing can also be done on tiles and sinks so for a complete 'refresh' do all the areas together. You can also choose what colour bath or sink you want from a range of different colours - fancy a bright pink bath? Sunny yellow? Go for it!

How is refinishing done?

Like with a normal paint job, protective cloths and tape are placed around the area.Basic repairs are completed, like you would patch a wall with plaster before sanding back and painting.A priming layer is applied, followed by a sealing layer.The top coat is then applied, which is the final layer.After masking and dropcloths are set up, the tub is repaired (nicks and holes filled), primed, sealed, and painted with a highly durable, glossy top-coat of any colour you choose.

Can you DIY refinish your bathroom?

Although it's possible, refinishing your own bathroom is inadvisable - plus, the cost of a professional isn't all that much more than the cost of the materials and your time.

Did you know that the techniques used in bathroom refinishing originated in the automotive industry? Car detailers and re-sprayers use similar technology to fix paint after panel beating is done.
