The most important thing that you can do is to make sure that the surfaces to be resurfaced are as clean as you can get them. We will be cleaning the surface as part of our process. However, we find that the finished product is improved when the surface is reasonably clean when we get there. You can be aggressive in your cleaning, as we will be etching the surface later.

Any fixtures (drains, faucets, etc.) that are going to be replaced should be removed or replaced before we arrive.

The Tub Guys are truly miracly workers... We tried numerous ways to clean our tub but nothing worked. That's when we called THE TUB GUYS! Not only did they do an amazing job refinishing, but their advice on how to clean the tub was second to none.Dan J. - Minneapolis, Minnesota
