| Q.2:
|
Why
should I consider refinishing rather than replacement?
[top] |
A:
First of all, to replace something you MUST first tear out 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 renovating a bathroom ranges from $3,000 to
$6,000 and will usually take one and a half to two weeks to
complete. Refinishing takes less than one - two days. To replace
a kitchen costs up to $15,000. Refinishing takes 2 - 3 days
and will save up to 70% vs. replacement.

| Q.3:
|
What
bathroom and kitchen surfaces can be refinished? [top] |
A:
Our EP-Acrylic refinishing system works beautifully on: bathtubs,
sinks, shower enclosures, vanity units, ceramic tiles, kitchen
benchtops & cabinets, clawfoot bathtubs, oven doors, refrigerators,
dishwashers, cultured marble counter tops and various fiberglass,
acrylic and laminated surfaces.
|
| Q.4:
|
How
are the coatings applied?
[top] |
A:
These coating are two part coatings, base and catalyst, and
are best applied using a HVLP (high velocity-low pressure) spray
equipment. These coatings do not produce their best result when
sprayed through conventional spray equipment.
|
| Q.5:
|
Will
my refinished surface look painted? [top] |
A:
Definitely NOT. You probably will not be able to tell the difference.
Refinishing will make that old chipped, stained, or colour-dated
item look "New" again.
|
| Q.6:
|
What
is EP-Acrylic? [top] |

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 of refinishers worldwide.

| Q.7:
|
How
long will it take? [top] |
A:
One of the key benefits of refinishing is that it can usually
be completed in less than one day. Our refinished bathtubs can
be used in 24 hours and are fully cured in 48 hours.
|
| Q.8:
|
How
do I clean and maintain my refinished fixture? [top] |
A:
We recommend Miracle Cleaner, a specially designed cleaner made
for the refinished fixtures. This strong but non-abrasive cleaner
will safely keep your fixture clean without dulling the gloss
like any abrasive cleaner will do or any store bought gel cleaner
without bleach or chlorine.
|
| Q.9:
|
What
if my bathtub or counter top is damaged? [top] |

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? [top] |

A bathroom or kitchen fixture refinished with EP-Acrylic should
easily last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance.
