Why BBR

Why East Texas Chooses Best In The Business Refinishing LLC

Built to Last — Not Just a Quick Spray Job

We do not just spray and go. The process includes surface prep, bonding, repair where needed, and coating work designed for durability.

No Peeling, No Cheap Kits

BBR avoids shortcut kits and weak prep. Every resurfaced surface is handled with professional materials, careful bonding, and craftsmanship meant to hold up.

Real Work by a Real Expert

You are hiring Richard Dorman — a local refinishing specialist with over three decades of hands-on experience.

Precision Shower Refinishing

Whether restoring a fiberglass shower or resurfacing a porcelain bathtub, BBR follows strict prep and application steps.

Warranty You Can Count On

BBR backs qualifying refinishing and repair work with written warranty protection on labor and materials. Standard refinishing work carries a 5-year written warranty, and repair work is covered by written repair warranty terms based on the surface and repair type.

Process

Why Our Refinishing Process Stands Out

BBR’s bathtub and shower resurfacing process includes careful inspection, surface prep, bonding, repair where needed, and professional coatings applied with precision.

Every job is handled by an experienced refinisher who understands fiberglass, porcelain, cast iron, tile, countertops, cultured marble, and shower surfaces.

  • Surface inspection and honest advice.
  • Masking, prep, and protection.
  • Chip, crack, and worn-area repair when needed.
  • Bonding and coating system application.

Craftsmanship

Real Refinishing Knowledge Behind Every BBR Job

A strong finish starts before the coating ever goes on. BBR looks at the existing surface, previous coating failures, chips, cracks, rust, drain-area damage, fiberglass flex, tile condition, and how the bathroom is used before recommending repair, refinishing, resurfacing, reglazing, or replacement.

Surface Prep & Bonding Matter

Most peeling problems start with weak prep. Best In The Business Refinishing LLC focuses on cleaning, sanding, masking, bonding, repair work, and proper coating steps so the surface is built for daily use, not just a quick photo.

Material-Specific Judgment

Fiberglass, porcelain, cast iron, acrylic, cultured marble, tile, and countertops do not all behave the same. Richard looks at the material and damage first so the repair plan matches the surface.

Warranty-Backed Accountability

BBR stands behind qualifying refinishing and repair work with written labor-and-materials warranty protection. The goal is simple: clear expectations, clean workmanship, and a result the customer feels good about using.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions East Texas homeowners ask before choosing bathtub refinishing, repair, resurfacing, or reglazing.

What is bathtub refinishing?

Bathtub refinishing, also called resurfacing or reglazing, restores the existing tub surface with repair, bonding, and a professional coating system. It is usually much less disruptive than replacing the tub.

Is refinishing cheaper than replacement?

In many cases, yes. Refinishing can avoid demolition, plumbing disruption, tile repair, and the extra cost of full replacement. Pricing depends on surface size, material, damage, and prep required.

Can BBR repair chips and cracks?

Yes. Best In The Business Refinishing LLC repairs chips, cracks, holes, worn areas, fiberglass damage, and many soft bottom issues before refinishing when the surface can be saved.

What surfaces can you refinish?

BBR refinishes fiberglass, porcelain, cast iron, acrylic, cultured marble, tile, Formica, countertops, showers, and bathtub surrounds.

How long does bathtub refinishing take?

Many tubs and showers take several hours on the first day. Depending on the job, BBR may return for polish, seal, inspection, or final instructions before use.

What areas does BBR serve?

Best In The Business Refinishing LLC serves Tyler, Longview, and surrounding East Texas communities including Athens, Palestine, Jacksonville, Henderson, Kilgore, Canton, Lindale, Whitehouse, Frankston, Nacogdoches, and Lufkin.

What warranty comes with the work?

BBR backs qualifying refinishing and repair work with written warranty protection on labor and materials. Standard refinishing work carries a 5-year written warranty, and repair work is covered by written repair warranty terms based on the surface and repair type.

Can I text photos for a quote?

Yes. Text photos of the tub, shower, tile, countertop, or damaged area for a faster estimate and clearer advice.

What maintenance is required after bathtub refinishing?

Use non-abrasive, bleach-free cleaners and avoid rough scrub pads or harsh drain chemicals directly on the finish. Proper care helps the coating last longer.

Can I change the color of my bathtub or tile?

Yes. Many outdated pink, green, beige, or worn surfaces can be refinished in a cleaner updated color when the surface is suitable for refinishing.
