When we see a dirty, worn bathtub we think it must be time to replace it. The truth is, most bathtubs are made to withstand the test of time and therefore, are structurally sound and intact. It is the surface of the tub that suffers the most damage over time. The paint starts to thin and wear out, leaving your tub with noticeable wear and water stains, chips, scratches and overall dullness. There isn’t a need to replace a bathtub like this, even one with minor cracks or holes. These can easily be repaired and made to look new.
Atlanta is a bustling city. New homes are going up all the time. But Atlanta is also a very historic city. Nestled between these new constructions are beautiful historic homes with tons more character than what is building up around them. We want to preserve this part of Atlanta. The homes and buildings are what gave this city its character back in the mid 1800s. It’s the city that also helped this great, American country. Preservation means pursuing. We must pursue the art of preserving this great city. One of the ways we can accomplish this is to try and renovate these historic homes and buildings without hurting the integrity of them. Bathtub resurfacing is one way we can do this.

The housing market in the Atlanta area is starting to come back to life. New construction is available everywhere in the city and suburbs: very expensive, new dwellings. Many buyers are snatching up old, historic Georgia properties. Is this smart or crazy? It may be a little bit of both. It makes sense to buy older homes that need some TLC. It’s cheaper and you can find these historic homes sprinkled all over Atlanta and the surrounding areas. While you can get an older home at a far better price, you still have the task of fixing it up and breathing new life into it.
Buying a fixer upper that has solid structural bones is smart. If the foundation is good, everything else can be fixed. Cosmetic repairs are fairly easy and cost effective. One of these cosmetic solutions is to repair and resurface the bathroom.
Resurfacing an old bathtub and even the tile surrounding it can dramatically change and update the look of a bathroom without having to gut the room and start over. Especially if you are trying to keep your historical home’s old charm. Refinishing the bathtub is the easiest and most cost effective solution. You can keep that rare, old tub and just breathe new life into it by hiring a professional to resurface it.
Resurfacing consists of stripping the old, worn paint off, repairing any cracks, chips or dents and applying a new surface that will last for many years. That old claw foot tub is suddenly transformed into its former glory and you have managed to retain the integrity of your older home.
Top Gun Applied Surfaces has been doing this kind of refinishing work on older dwellings for years. We know the importance of trying to bring that old charm back to your home. We can turn your bathtub into a new, usable fixture, and, we can also do the same with tiling throughout the house as well as older cabinets and countertops. Resurfacing cabinets and countertops is easier than you think. When older homes were constructed they were done so with the idea in mind that they were built to last. This not only includes the structure but the fixtures inside it. Older construction is definitely durable and has shown to withstand the test of time. Why replace what isn’t broken? Just resurface it!
Let us show you how we can help make your dream of home buying and remodeling more affordable. You can afford a wondeful house in a great neighborhood. You just have to have an open mind, a positive attitude and a Top Gun professional to show you the potential your home has!
As Atlanta’s housing market continues to rise, new construction is becoming plentiful in the metro area. But old Atlanta is still scattered around the trendy neighborhoods . Faced with competition from newer homes, the older homes that make up Atlanta’s history are still viable. They’re waiting for new owners to come and lovingly bring them back to life.
Atlanta is rich in history. It’s old homes are everywhere. Restoration is being increasingly important in order for Atlanta to hold onto its beautiful historic past. As new construction goes up, the older homes are being neglected and forgotten about. These are the homes, set in that up and coming neighborhood that get overlooked because they haven’t been cared for in a long time. Instead of buying a newer home in the same neighborhood, sometimes for double and triple the price, grab that older home and take on a fixer upper!
When purchasing an older home, many homeowners are faced with the tough decision of doing a complete gut and remodel or trying to restore the home to its former glory. In a lot of aspects, complete remodels do not have to be necessary in an older home. Homes built many years ago were constructed to last. With that said, ripping out older fixtures may not be the right path for your classic home.
One decision to make when tackling an older home is what to do with the bathroom. In very old homes, there are usually claw foot tubs, porcelain sinks and tile that isn’t being produced anymore. Bathtub refinishing has become a very popular trend recently. Not only in older homes, but in rental properties and hotels where tubs see a lot of activity.
A bathtub is often the focal point of a bathroom, especially in historic homes. If it looks scummy, grungy or run-down, the rest of your bathroom will too. These flaws don’t have to stay forever though. Instead of scrapping that old claw foot tub and installing a new, costly soaker tub, you can easily restore and transform the existing one. For a fraction of the cost.
Bathtub refinishing is a quick and easy process that will take that older, well-constructed tub and restore it to its former glory. It was most likely loved by its former owners and now you can love it too! Bathtub refinishing will also save you tons of money so you can focus on other projects that need more attention.
Let Top Gun Applied Surfaces show you how we can help in the restoration of your older, well loved home. We can tackle the bathtub, tile and sink of your bathroom but we can also help you with cabinet and countertop resurfacing in your kitchen. If your kitchen has an original sink, we can handle that too! We have proudly been serving the Atlanta Metro area for over 15 years in both commercial and residential projects. Most jobs take as little as a few hours and are ready for use within 24 hours.
