Refinishing FAQs

Here are some of the most frequent asked questions and answers...

Are you licensed?

Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Protect yourself and your property by making sure your contractor is properly licensed and can provide references from satisfied customers.

How long will the new finish last and is there a warranty?

Our refinishing services are backed with a five-year guarantee 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

Can you fix fiberglass cracks?

This is one of our most popular service requests. Fiberglass bathtubs and showers commonly crack over a period of time particularly when not well supported. When cracks occur from insufficient support below the tub or shower floor unit, we completely rebuild the subfloor beneath the unit, re-fiberglass entire floor and refinish it to look like new.

What exactly is refinishing?

Refinishing is a process during which we take many of your existing kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and repair the existing surface and apply a new one. We can repair porcelain chips, cracked fiberglass, cracked tile, and burned Formica. Many colors are available to simulate the natural look of the fixture at a fraction of the cost.

What is Executive’s refinishing process?

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

Executive 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

Executive 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.  Executive Tub Refinishing uses acrylic, poly urethane topcoats which 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. All our products are a greener VOC compliant coating.
