Our story

More than half a century of refinishing

Unique Refinishers, Inc. refinished its first tub more than half a century ago. Since then the company has grown from local residential work into one of the most experienced bathtub refinishing providers in the country, while keeping its headquarters in Sugar Hill, Georgia.

That depth of experience lets us serve a wide range of customers, from a homeowner restoring a single antique tub to hotels and institutions refinishing hundreds of bathrooms. The company is led by its president, Ron Kott.

Who we work with

  • Homeowners planning bathroom updates
  • Antique and clawfoot tub owners
  • Property owners and managers
  • Hotels
  • Colleges and dormitories
  • Hospitals and care facilities

Two kinds of customers

Homeowners in Georgia. Properties nationwide.

Our residential and commercial work share the same craft, but the needs are different, so we approach them differently.

For homeowners

Tub reglazing and refinishing is often an integral part of a bathroom renovation. We help homeowners across Greater Atlanta restore dated, chipped or stained tubs, showers, tile and sinks, and we restore antique and clawfoot tubs so they can stay in use.

Residential bathtub services

For commercial properties

Hotels, apartment communities, colleges and healthcare facilities rely on us for multi-unit refinishing planned around their operations. Our project experience includes properties under the Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Best Western and IHG brands, including a company-reported 3 million-plus Marriott bathtubs.

What we believe

Why refinishing, when it is the right fit

Beyond bathtubs, we refinish sinks, ceramic tile and shower surfaces. We recommend refinishing when the fixture is sound, and we say so when replacement or repair by another trade makes more sense.

  • A lower-cost alternative

    When a fixture is sound, refinishing can renew it without the demolition, plumbing and tile work that replacement often requires. Actual savings depend on the project.

  • Preserving vintage fixtures

    Antique and clawfoot tubs and older sinks can be restored and kept, rather than replaced with something new.

  • Less disruption

    Work happens on the fixture where it sits, so a bathroom is typically out of use for a shorter period than with a tear-out.

  • Less waste

    Keeping an existing tub, sink or tile surround in service means less material sent to the landfill.

How we describe our work

Straight answers, honestly sourced

Figures we label as company-reported, such as our Marriott project history and insurance coverage, come from our own records. Ask us for the documentation your project requires.

We describe durability as what we have seen: it is not uncommon for us to see tubs we refinished 10–15 years earlier still in excellent condition. That is observed experience, not a guarantee, and care and use make a real difference.
