Bath resurfacing — where the entire surface of the bath is recoated — lasts significantly longer than most homeowners expect. Here is an honest guide to longevity.

Factors That Affect Longevity

Quality of the coating — professional-grade two-pack polyurethane coatings are significantly more durable than consumer bath paint products. A professional resurfacing using appropriate coating systems will outlast DIY paint by years.
Surface preparation — the most important factor. A coating applied to a properly cleaned, degreased and primed surface bonds far better than one applied hastily. Our technicians take the preparation time the job requires.
Cleaning and maintenance — the single biggest variable after installation quality. Harsh chemical cleaners, bleach and abrasive products all shorten coating life.
Frequency of use — a bath used once a day will show wear faster than one used occasionally.

Typical Longevity

Professional acrylic bath resurfacing: 5–10 years with appropriate care.
Professional enamel bath resurfacing: 8–15 years with appropriate care.

These are general guides. Some resurfacing lasts longer; some deteriorates faster due to cleaning product use.
