Kitchen Countertop Resurfacing & Refinishing Portland
Transform laminate, tile, and cultured marble countertops without replacement costs. Stone-look finishes available. 5-year warranty on all countertop resurfacing work.
A full kitchen remodel can get expensive quickly, especially when countertops, cabinets, plumbing, appliances, and flooring are all involved. For many Portland homeowners, the existing countertops are still usable but look scratched, stained, faded, or outdated. Bathroom Surface Solutions offers countertop refinishing in Portland for homeowners who want a cleaner, more modern look without the cost of full countertop installation. If you are searching for a kitchen remodel near me, kitchen cabinet refacing services, or countertop installation, resurfacing may be a practical middle-ground option that improves the look of the kitchen without replacing everything.
BSS 7-Step Refinishing Process
1. Deep Cleaning & Stripping: Technicians thoroughly remove old caulk, soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits using professional-grade cleaners and an acid wash.
​
2. Surface Repair: Chips, cracks, and scratches are filled and sanded level to ensure the base is completely smooth and flawless.
​
3. Masking & Ventilation Setup: The room is completely sealed with plastic sheeting and tape to protect walls and floors from overspray. They also set up an exhaust system to safely vent out chemical fumes and dust.
​
4. Epoxy Primer Application: They apply four coats of a high-build, high-bond epoxy primer. This ultra-grip layer ensures the new finish adheres perfectly to the old fixture.
​
5. Tacking: The fixture is carefully "tacked" (wiped down) to remove any airborne dust particles that may have settled on the primer.
​
6. Acrylic Urethane Topcoat: Technicians spray five coats of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat with a built-in clear coat, creating a highly durable, high-gloss finish.
​
7. Curing & Detailing: After the coating dries, the masking is removed, the area is carefully cleaned, and the fixture is re-caulked for a watertight seal.
A Cost-Effective Countertop Update: Countertop refinishing can be used on many laminate, tile, cultured marble, Corian, and Formica surfaces. The process allows us to update the surface color and appearance while keeping the existing countertop in place. This can be especially helpful for rental properties, apartment turns, older kitchens, and homeowners who want to improve the look of the kitchen before selling or renting the property. Stone-Look Finishes: Many customers choose refinishing because they want the look of stone without paying for full slab replacement. Stone-look finishes can create the appearance of granite, quartz, or other modern surfaces at a much lower cost than new countertops. As with any resurfaced countertop, proper care matters. Cutting boards, trivets, and gentle cleaners should be used to protect the finish.
