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!
What is Resurfacing?
Bathtub refinishing, also known as bathtub resurfacing, bathtub reglazing or bathtub re-enameling, is the process of refreshing the surface of a worn, damaged bathtub to a like-new condition.
With a typical bathtub resurface, the process is multi-part but only takes an average of 2-5 hours to complete. First, the surface is chemically cleaned to remove oils, soap, dirt and grime. Next, any chips or cracks are repaired and sanded down for a seamless look. The tub is then etched (stripped) to remove the old surface and allow for the new surface to be applied. The new surface can then be applied and you are left with a brand-new surface to your old fixture!
What can you resurface?
When it comes to home repairs, any bathtub, vanity, countertop, tile surface and cabinetry can be resurfaced. Resurfacing can be done on almost any material including porcelain, cultured marble, fiberglass, acrylic and formica.
Why resurface?
If you are thinking about remodeling, the areas that will always add value to a house are the kitchen and bathrooms. Often, these are the rooms that have been neglected over the years because they can be costly. If you choose to resurface, you are not only adding value back into your home, you are saving yourself from a costly demolition and remodel.

We all have resolutions we vow to keep going into the new year and this year is no exception. We want to lose weight, eat healthier, etc. But what about the resolutions we make to keep our home in tip top shape? We want to de-clutter and reorganize so that our homes are streamlined and things are easier to find. We should also work hard to make sure our houses are structurally sound so that we aren’t faced with major issues when they occur.
Some of the things we can do to maintain our home that don’t require a lot of time or money is giving bathtubs, counters, tile and cabinets a “refresh.” Resurfacing these key items in our home’s kitchen and bathrooms is the perfect solution.
It is important to make sure our roof is in good condition, or our electrical and plumbing is well maintained because these are key items that can destroy our bank accounts when they creep up on us unexpectedly. But keeping our house aesthetically pleasing is important as well.
Resurfacing your bathtub and changing it from that 1990’s mauve to a bright white will not only change the entire look of your bathroom. It can also protect your tub for years so that it isn’t one of those unexpected items that suddenly needs replacement. Giving that tub a new look will make you feel like you have a brand new bathroom without the fuss. However, if it is resurfaced the correct way, it will also protect your tub from future damage thus making it last longer.
Bathtubs, as well as tile, cabinets and countertops, can all chip, scratch and age with everyday wear and tear. By not protecting them, you can face having to replace them. One option of protection is by having your fixture resurfaced. Using today’s technology and high quality materials, your fixtures not only get a new look, but are coated so that they are protected from such everyday wear and tear.
