Top 5 Signs Your Kitchen or Bathroom is Ready for Resurfacing

October 1, 2025

Keeping your kitchen and bathroom looking fresh can be expensive if you jump straight into a full remodel. Resurfacing is a smarter, budget-friendly solution that gives new life to tubs, sinks, tile, cabinets, and countertops at a fraction of replacement cost. If you’re wondering whether it’s time to resurface, here are five clear signs to look for.

1. Chips, Cracks, or Scratches Are Visible

Small chips, hairline cracks, and surface scratches not only look unsightly but also make surfaces harder to clean. Resurfacing smooths these imperfections and creates a protective new layer.

2. Stains and Discoloration That Don’t Come Out

If your sink, tub, or tile has stains that no amount of scrubbing can remove, resurfacing is the best way to restore a clean, uniform color and shine.

3. Outdated Colors or Styles

Peach tubs, yellow tile, or laminate counters straight from the 80s? Resurfacing lets you choose from modern finishes, including granite-look countertops in over 40 colors.

4. Cabinets or Countertops Look Worn but Still Work

When cabinet boxes are still sturdy and counters are structurally sound, resurfacing makes more sense than replacing. You get new doors, drawer fronts, or finishes without the high cost of tear-out.

5. You Want the Look of a Remodel Without the Price Tag

If you need a fresh, updated look but don’t want the mess, downtime, and thousands of dollars that come with a remodel, resurfacing is the ideal solution. Most projects are done in one day with a 24-hour cure.

Why Choose Resurfacing

Resurfacing is affordable, fast, and comes with warranties that last from 3 to 7 years depending on the service. It’s the perfect option for homeowners, property managers, and landlords who want to maximize value without compromising quality.
