Company Profile:
In 1989, nestled in the hard working town Indianapolis Indiana, 
Eastern Refinishing Inc. was founded. In the early years, while our 
company was developing, the bathtub industry was in its infancy. Back 
then, there were no official training schools to learn our trade and 
there were no official vendors or suppliers who were developing 
products for our industry; as such, the need for Eastern Refinishing 
to develop its own techniques was necessary. Throughout the 1980's the 
bathtub refinishing was primarily considered a "do it yourself" 
industry. Most applicators were regular household painters or handymen 
trying to satisfy their clients’ needs. That is, the need to refinish 
a fixture quickly, rather than replacing it. In fact, compared to the 
technology implemented today, bathtub refinisher in the 1980's used 
crude and primitive products and techniques. Most refinishers simply 
used an epoxy coating available at industrial paint stores, others 
used automotive or marine coatings. The end result was inconsistent 
quality and rampant repairs. In almost all cases, the coatings used 
would yellow, stain, discolor and lose their gloss. There was no 
specialized HVLP spraying equipment for our industry, so most jobs 
were applied by brush or roller and looked "unprofessional". However 
as a pioneer in bathtub refinishing, Eastern Refinishing continued to 
search for and develop alternate means and products to improve the 
refinishing process. In fact, I can honestly say we have tried 
literally hundreds of products over the years. One advantage that 
Eastern Refinishing offers is that we test all our products "in 
house", an industry first, thru the use of our Quality Control dept. 
which is managed by Levi Weppler. As such, you can be assured that 
we always use proven materials and techniques. Today, Eastern 
Refinishing is still headed by our founder Charles Gayler and his 
vision to offer the highest quality bathtub refinishing services still 
lives on. Mr. Gayler still constantly strives and is intricately 
involved in our day to day operations. In addition, he still assists 
in developing new refinishing techniques in order to take Eastern 
Refinishing to new levels. It is his determination that is responsible 
for taking a small one man refinishing company and developing it into 
a multi state/multi office company. Eastern Refinishing today enjoys a 
reputation for providing the highest quality work and providing 
customer service that is second to none. However, our work is not 
done, as Eastern Refinishing continues to strive to meet the demands 
and challenges of the 21st century. All Eastern Refinishing employees 
and technicians undergo a rigorous training program and schooling in 
the skill of professional refinishing. In addition to using skillfully 
trained personnel, we also implement the highest quality refinishing 
coatings and products. To achieve this, Eastern Refinishing has worked with the industry's leading manufacturer, Hawk Research Labs, Wood Dale, Illinois to develop a complete proprietary line of professional refinishing products. Utilizing our proprietary Acrylic urethane Coating System, Eastern Refinishing has taken longevity to new levels by being able to offer 5 year warranties on all our tubs. In fact, you can expect extended refinishing lifespan of between 10-12 years with proper care. Categorically our competitors cannot offer performance characteristics as we do. Our refinishing systems are designed to deliver gloss and durability ratings exceeding automotive finishes by 20%. In addition, our coatings are highly chemical, solvent, and acid resistive and are UV stabilized, so they will not yellow, stain, or dull prematurely with use. For these reasons, you can count on Eastern Refinishing to provide the finest quality workmanship.
