Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations
Planning a Bathroom or Kitchen Renovation?
Now You Can Save



Did you know that these two rooms will give you the largest return on your investment. But what to do with those existing fixtures. Do we tear them out and replace them with new ones? The cost, the labour, have you ever thought of re-finishing? Countertops, cabinets, tubs, sinks, fridges, stoves, yes they can all be re-done at a fraction of the cost of re-placing.
In most cases it requires a professional application but is well worth considering.
Why should I consider bathtub
refinishing rather than replacement?
First of all, to replace something you MUST first tear our the old items. When
considering the cost of replacement you must consider tear out, cost of
replacement item, labor for installation, not to mention the mess and time it
will take. For example, normal costs for replacing a bathtub range from $1,500 -
$3,000 and will usually take one and a half to two weeks to complete.
Refinishing takes less than one day and will save at least 70% vs. replacement.
What bathroom and kitchen
surfaces can be refinished?
EP-Acrylic refinishing system works beautifully on: porcelain bathtubs, sinks,
fiberglass shower enclosures, pedestal sinks, ceramic tile, Formica countertops,
claw foot tubs, plastic tubs, oven doors, refrigerators, dishwashers, kitchen
cabinets, cultured marble counter tops, shower pans, bathroom floors, and
various fiberglass and acrylic surfaces.
Will my bathtub or counter top
look painted?
Definitely NOT. You probably will not be able to tell the difference between a
New bathtub and refinished one. Refinishing will make that old chipped, stained,
or color-dated item look "New" again.
What is EP-Acrylic?
EP-Acrylic is a high performance acrylic polymer coating specifically designed
for refinishing porcelain, fiberglass, Formica, and other surfaces with a high
gloss, long-lasting, hard finish. EP-Acrylic has been on the market for over 10
years and is the coating of choice for over 250 refinishers.
How long will it take?
One of the key benefits of refinishing is that it can usually be completed in
less than one day. Refinished bathtubs can be used in 24 hours and are fully
cured in 48 hours.
How do I clean and maintain my
refinished fixture?
A strong but non-abrasive cleaner will safely keep your fixture clean without
dulling the gloss like any abrasive cleaner will do.
What if my bathtub or counter
top is damaged?
Small chips and cracks can be repaired during the cleaning and preparation stage
of refinishing. Your technician will inform you if the chip or cracks cannot be
repaired prior to refinishing your fixture.
How long will it last?
A bathroom or kitchen fixture refinished with EP-Acrylic should easily last 10
to 15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. Again, we recommend
a strong but non-abrasive cleaner for maintaining your refinished surface.
