Surfaces
made of porcelain, ceramic tile, fiberglass, and even laminate
counter tops can be beautifully refinished to look and feel like
"new" again. This process has existed for many years
and improvements in technology keep making it better and better.
New Surface has built a reputation as a preferred refinisher in
the business. We know that refinishing performed with the right
materials and procedures produces a beautiful product. We will
continue to be an organization committed to excellence and customer
satisfaction as we have for the past 15 years.

The
Bonding Process
Refinishing
involves the application of a thin, yet incredibly durable coating
to an existing surface. Bathtubs, sinks, ceramic tile, and even
kitchen counter tops can be beautifully restored at savings up
to 70% over replacement costs. A critical element in the refinishing
process has always been getting the new coating to adhere to the
old surface, especially on porcelain and ceramic tile. We strongly
believe that the use of a chemical bonding process results in
superior adhesion and a better product with more longevity.
Glazed
surfaces are etched, sanded, and properly prepped for a bonding
primer to bite into the substructure of the glass and is topcoated
with a glass-fused resin.
Preparation
of the Work Area
New
Surface takes great care to insure that any surrounding areas
are protected and that paint-type odors from the refinishing process
are properly exhausted.
Preparation
of the Surface
New
Surface uses a two-step cleaning process to adequately prepare
the surface for refinishing. These are industrial strength cleaners
designed to remove soap film, body oils, and hard water deposits.
First, the tough surface is sanded and cleaned. Next, any chips
or scratches are filled and repaired, and the surface is cleaned
and caulked where the tub meets with the tile.
Primer
A
primer coating is applied to the prepped surface to give a bond
between the old and new surfaces. This durable primer coating
cannot be removed by even industrial stripers, giving the maximum
bond possible between your fixtures.
Application
of New Surface
Technology
seems to be changing everything these days, and coatings are no
different. Typically either an acrylic or urethane based coating
will be applied with an HVLP spray ring. These coatings, available
in a variety of custom colors, will dry to the touch within minutes.
New Surface has access to some of the most advanced, hi-tech coatings
available on the market today. These coatings produce such a hard,
glossy surface that many people have a hard time distinguishing
between a new and refinished surface. Through different techniques
and procedures, a refinished tub can be ready within 48 hours.
Finishing
Touches
One
aspect of refinishing which tends to set New Surface apart from
out competitors is the attention we give to finishing the job.
Once properly sanded, we apply 4 coats of our glass-fused eurothane
coating for your final finish
