WHY REFINISH
Refinishing is the smart choice to deal with an outdated or damaged tub, counter top, sink or wall tile. Chips, rust, cracks, stains and dull areas completely go away. Fixtures with outdated colors can be changed and look new again. You choose the color to fit your new decor. Most customers can't tell the difference between a refinished tub and a new one.
Faced with worn or dated fixtures, you have the choice of refinishing or replacement. Think again about replacement. Replacement, especially bathtubs, includes expensive tradesmen and a week of hassles. Frequently demolition is required. That means noisy, dusty work that causes damage to your floors, walls and plumbing. Not to mention the cost savings.
Liners are a good alternative if the wallboard behind your tile wall is damaged. Read more about them on our Services Page or contact us online for a quote or with any further questions you may have. Feel free to call The Bath Doctor at 203-699-8700 anytime!
