The science

Why won't our finish peel?

We don't just paint over your tub. We chemically etch the surface, then hand-apply a bonding agent that fuses the new glaze at a molecular level. No peeling. No flaking. A permanent, factory-new finish from Fresh Start Refinishing in Brownstown Township, MI.

I was worried it'd look like cheap paint. The bonding agent actually fused to the old tub. You can't tell it wasn't original.
