Bathtub, tile and countertop refinishing

In the early 1980's when bathtub refinishing was just in its infancy, it was a crude and archaic business as there was no formal training schools to learn proper refinishing techniques and there were no professional products, as such, Eastern Refinishing had to develop its own techniques and processes. At the time, most products used were automotive and marine based epoxies and urethanes; this coupled with a poor understanding of what was required to produce long term results, most products simply failed miserably, in that they either peeled pre-maturely or they easily stained and turned yellow.
It was at this point in time that Mr. Gayler began to search out and test various products and technologies that were available. He sought to form a new synergy of relentless testing to find the most durable refinishing coatings systems coupled with superior quality training. Surprisingly, even today, there is sadly a great number of refinishing companies who are poorly trained and not skilled in the art of refinishing. Worse yet are those that continue to use inexpensive products when professional products are available and marketed through companies like Hawk Research Labs in Wood Dale, Illinois.
With the growth of the professional bathtub refinishing industry came the rise of products specifically designed for the professional refinisher. And even today, Eastern Refinishing responsibly tests and seeks out the finest products available. After testing hundreds of products over the last 25 years, Eastern Refinishing can proudly state that we have finally discovered the finest system in the industry called Glas-Tech 9000 produced by Hawk Research Labs in Wood Dale, Illinois.
Essentially, Eastern Refinishing uses only surface preparation techniques that are environmentally safe and proven to produce unparraleled results. Unlike some companies that are concerned with taking shortcuts that lead to failures, Eastern Refinishing takes pride in our proprietary multistep process that incorporates the use of poly-amide high-build epoxy primers and high solids aliphatic acrylic urethanes. The end result is a coating system the resembles real porcelain and is designed to last for 10 years before reconditioning is required. We use only the finest materials, which is why our finishes are chemical, solvent, acid, and UV resistive, so they will not yellow, stain, or lose gloss over time.
In addition, we use the latest HVLP spray equipment that reduces over-spray to reduce over-spray, save material, and help the environment. We also use the latest safety equipment to protect our workers and special fume extractors to minimize dust and residual odors; thus leaving our clients home in perfect condition. In fact, Eastern Refinishing was one of the first companies in the industry to have a dedicated quality control department. Presently, Mr. Levi Weppler is responsible for all training of personnel at Eastern Refinishing and oversees quality control, which ensures that our customers receive the very best results possible.
Furthermore, bathtub refinishing is not only a more economical approach to upgrading your kitchen or bath, but its also environemtnally friendly as the the carbon footprint of refinishing a bathub is 10 times lower than replacing a bathtub that eventually ends up in a landfill.
After being in the the refinishing industry for over 20 years, Eastern Refinishing is still one of the largest dealer networks in the country. Even in tough economic times like today, we thrive with increased growth because we understand what our customers desire: professional quality work, superior products, excellent customer service, and value pricing, its what we represent at Eastern Refinishing and what I believe in.
