Choosing Your Refinishing Color Scheme

Often times at Tuff Tub, we are asked to refinish everything in white. We usually use a bright white, which is pretty standard in the industry. Strange as it might seem, white can come in a lot of different shades. Thus, bright white may become more than you bargained for. You might want to consider a different refinishing color scheme.


Sunglasses In Your Bathroom?

This is especially true if you are refinishing the surround, bathroom sink, and vanity. You may need to replace your light bulbs with a lower wattage or even wear sunglasses! It seems simple to us, getting blinded in your own bathroom is unnecessary and silly.😉

A Better Idea

This is why, a simpler and overlooked solution is to be more specific with your refinishing color scheme. Bathtubs usually look good and clean when they are refinished in white. Indeed, they will often compliment other bathroom fixtures such as your toilet and sink basin. Although this might be uniform and blend well, it could be an aesthetic nightmare. However, what if you created some intentional contrast at some natural lines or angles in order to add some depth? Perhaps a speckled brown sand surround to compliment the sparkling white tub? You might be surprised at how much more pleasant your bathroom experience could be.


At Tuff Tub, we have a large assortment of contrasting colors, textures and patterns to compliment your white. So you can achieve the bathroom you envision, our team is here to walk you through those steps to customize your refinishing color scheme. In addition, bathtub refinishing can cost hundreds or even thousands less than a new bathroom remodel. We follow all CA regulations for safe products and exceed our customers expectations with our care filled service. Maybe now is the time to get away from the sanitized hospital look and get creative!

Preparing For Your Refinishing Project

Are you thinking about doing a bathroom remodel? Oftentimes a bathtub, shower, or vanity refinishing project is part of a bathroom remodel.


Where refinishing comes in the pecking order can make all the difference. If your refinishing project comes too soon, they might have to return to fix chips or dings, or generally clean up the mess of the other contractors.

Three things to consider when preparing for your refinishing project.

1) Have the refinishing team come last. Ideally the refinishing team should be the last ones in your bathroom. Painting, flooring, tile work etc. should all be done prior to tub, shower, or sink refinishing.

You don't want masking tape on your new paint! Therefore it is important to let your painting contractor know so he can prep the surface sufficiently. Even though the painting was done correctly, paint can still peel when masked off. Nevertheless, it is easier for a spot on a wall to be touched up than a tub or shower.

2) Hardware should be replaced. Nothing detracts from the look of a shiny new tub than retaining an old crusty and rusty drain flange or other hardware. Have it replaced or removed entirely before the refinishing team arrives so everything looks new, all at once.

3) Take care of leaks. Nothing can ruin a new finish like dripping water on a fresh coat of polyurethane. A good refinishing team does their best to protect the new coating from water drips by blocking the faucet or spout. However, sometimes our best is inadequate. Having a plumber repair leaks ahead of time ensures that the finish will not be damaged or contaminated by a leaky faucet.

 


Here is what one of happy customer said about Tuff Tub Refinishing:

"After kicking around the thought of doing a full bath/shower remodel, we decided to give refinishing a go with 2 of our bathrooms and try not to reinvent the wheel. Arlen was very responsive and his quote was competitive to others. We gave Tuff Tub a go. We are pleased with the results and highly recommend Tuff Tub for anyone that is looking to refresh their bath/shower at a fraction of the cost of a full remodel."
