Raleigh, NC Area Refinishing Process.

We are precise, professional and careful at Wingate Construction in all the jobs we undertake. The product is a shower tile refinish, which will help you to make your bathroom look as elegant as it was and allow you to have long-term durability and accurate finishing. No matter where you live, be it Raleigh, Cary, or a different location in the Triangle area, our team is applying a very specific stepwise procedure that will provide the same premium results on a regular basis.
 

Step 1: Inspection and Preparation

Before we can begin to refinish, we thoroughly inspect your shower tiles to find spots of concern such as cracks, chips, loose grout, or discoloration. Once we've assessed the condition, we clean it thoroughly to remove dirt, soap scum, and mineral buildup. Then we sand and etch the surface to provide the surface with the right texture to achieve a successful bond. This preparation process is essential in ensuring the new coat sets evenly and firmly.
 

Step 2: Priming and Repair

After sanding and cleaning, our professionals meticulously repair imperfections. They are used to seal grout joints in order to fill cracks and even out rough surfaces to restore the original tile design. When repairs are finished we topcoat with a high grade bonding primer a very important process which allows the refinishing material to bond well to the surface. It also renders the final finish strong and tough.
 

Step 3: Application of Finishing Material.

Once the surface is primed and ready our professionals use multiple refinishing coats that have long life and use precise spray upon application. The coating offers a smooth and silky texture and an unbelievable luster. According to your taste of design, we will design finishes that resemble stone, porcelain, or even ceramic tiles, which will completely transform the outlook of your bathroom.
 

Step 4: Durability: Sealing and Curing.

After applying the application, we cover the surface with a protective coating that serves in extending the water resistance and durability. Covering the surface helps to keep out moisture, mould and daily wear. Then we then leave the surface to dry out which is a very necessary condition and is the best way to keep your refinished shower shiny and glossy long enough.
 

Step 5: Final Inspection and Satisfaction Guarantee

After curing is finished, our staff conducts a meticulous final inspection to ensure that all surfaces are flawless. We inspect for uniformity, gloss, and durability to ensure your refinished shower is of the highest quality possible. We will not leave before we are certain that you are completely satisfied with the finished product, as at Wingate Construction, your satisfaction is more than anything.
