8. Do you use etching on porcelain surfaces?

Etching porcelain to maximize adhesion is an integral part of the refinishing process and provides superior service life for your refinished bathtub or tile. Some refinishing companies skip this process to save time or money. Industry wide studies and laboratory testing have shown that etching is a critical step in the process in order to maximize adhesion and give the finished products the longest-lasting durability possible.
