| Why Use Us?Using Drexel Co. Refinishing makes the difference.In today's reglazing market there are many different refinishing companies with an array of different services and materials. This leaves the consumer to discern in which company they will invest their trust. To help consumers make an informed decision we have supplied information about our company, process and materials.
The
difference is clear from the moment we walk into your home. After we
have greeted you and gone over the preliminaries, we lay out drop-cloths from
your entry way to the bathroom. This helps prevent the tracking of anything on
your carpet or floor. We cover the bathroom with drop-cloths, masking paper and
specialized masking tapes to protect any (stationary) irremovable items as well
as wallpapered/painted surfaces, from
over spray. The difference is the importance we place on preparation. Every project starts with a thorough cleaning of the fixture, during which we remove the old caulking. This is followed by a complete etching and/or sanding process. Etching a ceramic or porcelain fixture will aid in the removal of soap film, mold and mildew while making the surface slightly porous. Sanding takes the place of etching for fiberglass or previously refinished surfaces that do not need to be stripped. Using quality masking paper and tapes, we mask off the area directly surrounding the fixture to protect it against over spray. The difference
is in the quality of material used. We use refinishing materials developed by
Hawk
Research Laboratories Inc., the leader in bathroom and kitchen refinishing
products. The acid etch, primer and top coat are all formulated
specifically for the refinishing of porcelain and ceramic surfaces.
Porc-Etch™ Etching Solutions are a blend of acids,
cleaners and stabilizing agents which etch the surface and clean soap film residue,
remove rust and other contaminants found on The difference is our experience. We've been involved with the remodeling industry for 20 plus years and have been refinishing tubs and tile for over thirteen years. Through this experience our company has learned and instituted the value of proper customer service. We honor our warranty and stand behind every job we do. The difference is in the price. Refinishing can save as much as 80% over the cost of replacement and is about 1/3 the cost of having liners installed. Saving money by refinishing older existing fixtures allows customers to spend more money on other remodeling items. The difference in today's refinishing market is clear. There is a refinishing company you can trust. The difference is Drexel Company Refinishing [ Back

Our family owned and operated company was started in 1995 with many goals in
mind. Paramount of those was to be the
difference. To offer excellent service with a quality product, at for an
affordable price. To deliver courtesy, dependability and professionalism in
every job we do. To return integrity to the bathtub and tile refinishing
industry, one customer at a time. 
The difference
is reflected through the use of proper equipment. Ventilation of our spray area
is very important on every job. This can be accomplished in two
ways; where a window is present we will use one or two fans to remove odors and
over spray out doors, in cases where a window is not present we use
a Fume Exhauster. Basically said, this machine pulls fumes from the spray
area and expels it out the closest window through the use of hoses. (We never ventilate
into another room or strictly use the bathroom vent fan.)
refinishers to be more comfortable in the spraying
environment and allow them to take
their time. Being able to take your time always translates into
a better job. Cartridge Filter masks, used by other companies, do not offer enough protection
to the workman from the acids and
solvents being used in the refinishing process. Refinishers that use these
cartridge filtered masks will be
hurried and anxious for fresh air. 
surfaces to be refinished.
Ultra
Grip™ is a two component polyamide cured epoxy primer system that is
sprayed. This primer is designed to deliver high build, fast dry times and
be ultra-resistant to moisture and corrosion. The special adhesives in
this formula produce an extremely high tack primer system to create a superior
bonding foundation. The sprayed top coat, called
Glas-Tech™, is a two component, high solids,
high performance acrylic urethane. This fully cross-linked aliphatic
urethane uses resin rich layer technology to deliver outstanding wear resistance
that promotes a long-term coating lifespan. These three components
compliment each other to make up the Glas-Tech™ Process. Some
other companies mix and match their materials, based on the lowest price, giving
little consideration to a coatings durability and longevity.
