Kitchen Countertop Refinishing Services in Baltimore, Nottingham, MD and Washington, DC

When to Consider Countertop Refinishing

Refinishing is a great option when your existing countertops are structurally sound but have cosmetic issues. This includes visible scratches, discoloration, burns, or outdated colors that no longer match your kitchen’s style. If your countertops are made of laminate, tile, cultured marble, or even wood, refinishing can be an effective and long-lasting update.

Choosing to refinish instead of replace also makes sense when you’re on a budget or want to avoid a full kitchen remodel. Refinishing avoids demolition, material disposal, and plumbing disruption, all while extending the life of your current countertops by 10 to 15 years with proper care.

Our Professional Refinishing Process

At Tub Coaters, our process starts with thoroughly cleaning and prepping your countertops. We remove built-up grime, old sealants, and any surface residue. Next, we sand and repair any chips, deep scratches, or uneven areas to create a smooth, level base. Then, we apply a durable primer and multiple coats of a specialty finish that bonds directly to the surface.

Our refinishing system includes heat- and stain-resistant coatings that are designed to hold up to everyday kitchen use. Once fully cured, the new surface resists wear and tear, cleans easily, and gives your countertops a refreshed, polished look. Most refinishing jobs are completed in 1–2 days with minimal mess or downtime.

Countertop Materials We Refinish

Our refinishing services work on a variety of common countertop materials, making it an ideal solution for many homes. These include:

• Laminate countertops (Formica, Wilsonart, etc.)
• Tile countertops (ceramic or porcelain)
• Cultured marble or solid surface
• Wood butcher block surfaces
• Vanity tops in kitchens and bathrooms

Even older countertops that have seen years of use can be restored with professional refinishing. We also provide color and texture customization, so whether you want a stone-look finish, a modern solid tone, or a soft matte appearance, we’ve got options to match your kitchen’s design.

Why Hire a Professional Over a DIY Kit

While DIY countertop refinishing kits exist, they often fall short in durability, appearance, and longevity. These kits typically don’t include high-bond primers, commercial-grade sealers, or specialized tools needed for a professional-grade result. Plus, they usually skip essential prep steps that make the finish last.

Hiring a professional ensures that your refinishing project is done right the first time. We use advanced sprayers, professional-grade products, and a proven multi-step process that results in a smooth, high-end finish that can last for over a decade. Our technicians are experienced and know how to handle even complex materials and surfaces with precision and care.

Maintaining Your Refinished Countertops

After your countertops are refinished, proper care will help maximize their lifespan. Here are a few maintenance tips:

• Use cutting boards – never cut directly on the surface.
• Wipe spills immediately to avoid staining.
• Avoid harsh cleaners—stick to mild soap and water.
• Use trivets or hot pads to protect the surface from hot pots and pans.
• Don’t drag heavy objects across the surface to avoid scratches.

With these simple habits, your refinished countertops will maintain their shine and function for many years. We also provide guidance after the job is complete so you know exactly how to care for your new surface.
