Resurfacing: The Fastest “Like-New” Upgrade for Kitchens & Baths (Without Full Replacement)

When you’re trying to keep occupancy high, the most expensive phrase in multifamily isn’t “new countertops”—it’s “unit not ready yet.” Kitchens and bathrooms drive the first impression, but full replacements can snowball into bigger scopes, longer lead times, and more coordination than the unit really needs.

That’s why resurfacing has become the go-to move for busy portfolios: it’s a high-visual-impact refresh that protects your schedule and your budget—especially when you’re turning multiple units back-to-back.

What resurfacing actually solves

Most kitchens and baths don’t fail structurally—they fail visually:

• Worn finishes, staining, chips, dated colors

• Tenant perception: “old” = “not worth the rent”

• Make-ready drag: one replacement decision turns into three trades and a week lost

Resurfacing targets that exact pain: repair damaged surfaces, update colors, and renew worn-out finishes using environmentally friendly, low-odor products, making it ideal for both vacant and occupied units. 

When resurfacing beats replacement

Use this quick decision guide:

Choose resurfacing when:

• Cabinets/counters/tubs are structurally sound but ugly (stains, chips, outdated finish)

• You need speed and consistency across multiple turns

• You want to modernize kitchens & baths while keeping scope tight

Choose replacement when:

• Water damage has compromised the substrate

• Layout/function needs to change (not just appearance)

• You’re already in a full renovation scope with multiple replacements planned

The 360 resurfacing advantage (numbers that matter)

If you’re watching turn timelines and capex, resurfacing is one of the most efficient levers you can pull:

• Save up to 90% vs. replacement (example: $3,000 → < $400 for tub + counters + sink). 

• 90% faster turnaround to reduce vacancy and protect revenue. 

• And it’s not a niche service—we complete 500+ resurfacing jobs per month, built for volume and consistency. 

What you can resurface (so you standardize it)

Resurfacing isn’t just a tub refinish. It can become a repeatable “finish package” across your portfolio:

• Kitchens: countertops, sinks, cabinets, tiles 

• Bathrooms: bathtubs, jacuzzis, showers, sinks, cabinets, countertops 

• Other areas: enclosures (tile & fiberglass), acid washes, buffing, repairs, fireplaces 

• Plus an extensive catalog of textures and colors to match your design spec. 

Real results tips: how to make resurfacing frictionless

1) Standardize 2–3 approved finishes

Pick a small palette (Classic / Premium / Model) and stick to it. The fastest turns happen when approvals don’t pause the schedule.

2) Find a Resurfacing partner that can deliver high-quality results consistently

Resurfacing only works if results are consistent every time. Pick a partner with a proven spray process, solid QA, and a real warranty—so you avoid repeat visits.

3) Make warranty part of your QA standard

Resurfacing should come with confidence. 360 includes a 12-month warranty against blistering, peeling, cracking, and fading—with repairs at no charge if needed. 

Want a faster path to “lease-ready” without full replacement scope? Book resurfacing on your next turn and standardize a finish package your whole team can repeat. We’ll keep it simple: clear scope, photo proof, and schedule discipline—so your units look modern and your timeline stays intact. Every unit. Every time. Done right.
