Eastern Refinishing Inc., also known as The Tub Wizards, is a pioneering company in the bathtub refinishing industry, founded over 45 years ago in Indianapolis, Indiana. Established during a time when the refinishing sector was still in its infancy, Eastern Refinishing has developed its own techniques and quality standards that have set the benchmark for the industry. The company has seen significant evolution since its inception, which started with basic practices involving crude products that often led to unsatisfactory results. Recognizing the need for improvement, Eastern Refinishing undertook extensive research and development, ultimately establishing an in-house testing program for refinishing products, becoming an industry first in this regard.
Under the leadership of its current owner, Charlie Gayler, who has more than 25 years of experience with the company, Eastern Refinishing relocated its headquarters to Wiarton, Ontario. This move was influenced by both personal and environmental aspirations, as Gayler aimed to create a sustainable, off-grid lifestyle with minimal ecological impact. Today, the company is proud to operate its home office entirely on renewable energy harnessed from solar panels and wind turbines.
Eastern Refinishing has a solid reputation for high-quality workmanship, leveraging a proprietary Acrylic Urethane Coating System that provides durability and a longevity that competitors cannot match. Customers can expect their refinished bathtubs to last between 10-12 years with proper care, supported by a 5-year warranty. The company continuously trains its technicians in innovative refinishing techniques, ensuring they are adept in using state-of-the-art equipment that minimizes environmental impact and disruption during the refinishing process.
Eastern Refinishing also takes pride in its community involvement, employing many military veterans and contributing positively to its surroundings. With an impressive portfolio of completed projects, including notable appearances in media and over 200,000 tubs refinished, Eastern Refinishing combines craftsmanship with a commitment to sustainability, providing affordable alternatives to bathtub replacement.
