For countertops that are beginning to look old and grimy, refinishing is the best option. By simply repairing and applying a new finish to your old countertops, you can completely change their appearance. It does not matter what type of material your countertop is made from, refinishing can be completed on almost anything – and it will save you money. If you want your countertops to look sparkly and new, without paying a fortune, refinishing is the way to go. Let’s learn more about this seemingly ‘magical’ process.

Not all countertops need to be refinished. Wood is the perfect example. One of the easiest countertop materials to repair, most discolorations or burns in wood can be fixed by sanding them down and do not require a complete refinishing job. If you have a granite, marble, tile, or cement countertop, chances are you will only need to have your countertop repaired every 10 or 15 years (providing that you maintain it properly). The material that refinishers repair the most is laminate. Laminate is more likely to endure damage than other types of countertop materials, making it the ideal candidate for countertop refinishing.

There are several different methods of refinishing. One of the most common resurfacing/refinishing methods involves the process of placing a new sheet of laminate overtop of the counter. Refinishing paints are another option that many people prefer. This process involves four different steps; cleansing, sanding, repair, and painting.

Some people prefer to refinish their countertops themselves using refinishing kits. Still, these kits are not advised for use.Refinishing can provide you with excellent results, but if it is not done properly, it can also lead your countertop to look unprofessional and ‘painted’. Unless you are in the business of refinishing, you should always spend the extra money to have it done right. Doing it yourself may save you some money, but if it turns out wrong, it could cost you a lot more in the long run. It is also important to remember that, when compared to replacement, refinishing is less than half the price. Thus, you are saving money regardless of whether you do it yourself or hire someone to do it for you.
