Refinishing
The
most typical things I refinish are:
Other services I offer:
Many other things can be
refinished besides a bathtub-- kayaks, pool slides, metal cabinets and
work benches; to name a few things I've done in the past. I can refinish
things in your home, or you can bring them to my studio in Snohomish
(by appointment only). Call to inquire about special projects. Take a
look at my photos page to see examples of some of the things I've done.
All photos on this website are actual examples of my work.

*Stripping: If your bathtub
has been refinished previously, and the finish is failing/peeling, the
tub will need to be stripped to the original porcelain before the
reglazing process.
**Refinishing Claw Feet Only: If you are happy with the rest of your tub
and just want the feet refinished, I can sand the feet down to the base
cast iron and re-glaze in the color of your choice.
***Missing a foot? I can have duplicates made for you, cast in bronze,
and then paint them to match the rest of the feet.

Below is a photo slideshow of the progression of refinishing a
tub and tile surround in two different color schemes (white tub, with
granite-look tile surround). This is all done in the customer's home
with minimal impact to their living space. Click on any thumbnail to
open the slideshow and learn how it's done.

|
Before: Pink colored tile was outdated, and the homeowner complained that the grout had become impossible to clean. |
|
|
Problem Tiles: Homeowner didn't want to incur expense of completely re-tiling bath. She replaced some broken tiles, but they weren't the same texure. We needed to hide that. |
|
|
Exhaust Fan: First step is to mask the area, and set up an exhaust fan. The flexible duct leads outside the house, to carry odors away from the living space. This is an important step, if no fan is used, the curing odor can be quite strong. |
|
|
Tile- First Coat: This is the first primer coat of the tile color. Here you can see that the tub is masked off, as it's slated to be a different color. |
|
|
Bathtub Masking: The tile is done and cured, one day later, I returned and masked around the tub to refinish it in white as a second step. |

Bathtub like new! Here the bathtub has just received its new bright white finish. Goodbye pink! Notice how the overspray footprint is very small-- no need to worry about making a mess all over your bathroom! |
|
|
Finished! Here is the completed job, granite-look tile and bright white bathtub. A beautiful, modern look for much less time, effort and money than a complete bathroom remodel. |
|
|
Close-up: Here you can see how the granite-look hides imperfections-- the mismatched tile textures are no longer noticeable. The whole bath looks clean and new! The homeowner was thrilled! |
