Our Process

How We Refinish Surfaces in Durham

Repair first, then refinish. That order is what makes the result last on a hard-working older tub.

Inspect & Protect

We inspect the tub to map every chip, crack, and worn area, then mask off the bathroom.

Deep Clean & Repair

We repair and rebuild the damage with strong, bonded fills, including drain-area wear.

Etch & Bond

We sand the repairs smooth and etch the surface so the coating bonds to the original material.

Apply the Coating

We spray durable coatings across the whole tub, blending every repair into one continuous gloss.

Cure & Walkthrough

The finish cures, we inspect for a seamless result, and we clean up. A professional refinish typically lasts 10 to 15 years.

Cost & Value

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been working with Quality Bathtub Refinishing on a large project at our apartment community in Danville, where they’re reglazing bathtubs and tile in approximately 20+ units, and I can’t say enough good things about them.

Kisbel and her husband Luis have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Kisbel, in particular, is incredibly organized, responsive, flexible, and just genuinely great to deal with. Coordinating work across this many units isn’t easy, but she has made the entire process smooth and efficient.

The quality of their work has been excellent across the board, and their professionalism really stands out.

I would highly recommend Quality Bathtub Refinishing to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work. Truly a top-notch experience from start to finish.
