In our many years of service throughout California, we have been asked many different questions about our high quality refinishing. Here are some of the most frequent asked questions and answers.
Refinishing is a process during which we take many of your bathroom fixtures, and repair the existing surface and apply a new one. We can repair porcelain chips, cracked fiberglass, cracked tile, and burned Formica. Or, apply several layers of our highly durable polymer coating to surfaces, which come in many colors and finishes, and simulates the natural look of the original fixture, all at a fraction of the cost and time.
Proven to be the best process for long-term bathtub refinishing coating lifespan, an etch-primer-acrylic poly-urethane topcoat process ensures that your finish lasts longer. It is one of the most cost-effective approaches to bathtub refinishing.
Etching Process
24hour Bath Inc. uses a specialized etching process for long-term bathtub refinishing. The process applies a thin and durable coat to existing bathtub surfaces and uses a stabilized, safe etching primer solution applied to porcelain or ceramic surfaces that maximizes a permanent bond to the original underlying layer. All surfaces – fiberglass, acrylic, or other substrates – are thoroughly treated to amplify the adhesion.
Primer
24hour Bath Inc. uses a special underwater primer epoxy adhesive that permanently sticks to the substrate using a molecular bonding process. This unique process dramatically extends the life of treated surfaces.
Acrylic Poly-urethane
Bathtub refinishes that provide long life and durability are what you get with acrylic urethane topcoats. 24hour Bath Inc. cosmetic acrylic, poly urethane topcoats provide high-gloss, impact and scuff-resistant protection against acids and solvents. Acrylic urethane refinishing is a cost-effective and effective approach to extending the life of your bathtub or shower.

No. New porcelain requires heating of the fixture on a kiln. Our product has been specifically designed for onsite use compatible with ceramic substrates and bath applications, and meets the highest performance and quality standards.
Not really. Nationwide, the average cost for replacement is around $5,000, after totaling purchase, removal and replacement of the tub, plumbing, flooring, dry wall and tub surround. In addition, the quality of a replacement tub is likely to be lower than that of the original fixture, and requires from several days to two weeks to install. With the 24hour Bath Inc. 48-hour turn-around, we can save you time and money every step of the way.
Our finish has been tested to last well over ten years, and is backed with a 7 year warranty covering any workmanship or product defects. We do not use epoxies, which will discolor and peel. With proper cleaning and care, our system should provide a new looking fixture for many years.
