Renew Your Countertops.

Countertop refinishing is a practical way to update kitchens, bathrooms, bars, laundry rooms, and rental suites when the existing surface is still usable but no longer looks its best.

Old countertops can make the whole room feel tired, even when the cabinets, layout, and appliances still work well. Refinishing helps improve colour, sheen, texture, and surface condition without removing the entire counter.

Total Renos prepares the surface, repairs minor damage, smooths rough areas, and applies a refreshed finish suited to the space. The result is a cleaner countertop that supports daily cooking, cleaning, and family use.

Countertop Refinishing

A smart surface update for counters that are worn, faded, stained, scratched, or visually outdated.
divider

Refinishing can restore the appearance of laminate, tile, solid surface, and other suitable countertop materials when replacement is not required. It helps cover visible wear while giving the room a more polished look.

It is a practical choice when you want a better kitchen without a full renovation.

Careful Prep
Surface preparation matters
divider

Strong countertop refinishing begins with cleaning, masking, sanding, filling, and surface inspection. These steps help remove residue, smooth imperfections, and create better bonding for the refinishing system.

Minor chips, scratches, dull patches, and edge wear can often be improved before the finish is applied. Proper preparation helps the final result look cleaner and last longer.

Finish Options
Choose your look
divider

Countertops can be refinished in modern neutral tones, darker feature colours, stone-inspired looks, or simple clean finishes depending on the room and surface condition.

We help you consider cabinet colour, backsplash style, flooring, lighting, and long-term cleaning needs so the new surface fits the rest of your home.

Why Refinish Counters
divider

Replacing countertops can involve demolition, plumbing disruption, disposal, material delays, and extra repairs around the sink, backsplash, and cabinets. Refinishing avoids many of those issues when the existing counter is still structurally sound.

This service works well for homeowners who want a cleaner appearance before selling, renting, refreshing a kitchen, or improving a surface that has become stained, faded, scratched, or difficult to enjoy.

Clean Steps for Better Results

Every countertop project is planned around surface condition, room use, colour goals, and the amount of repair needed before coating.

We review the countertop, protect nearby cabinets and fixtures, repair suitable flaws, prepare the surface, apply the selected finish, and allow the coating to cure before normal use resumes.

Our team also explains basic care, cleaning, and protection after the work is complete. Simple habits help the refreshed surface stay attractive through regular cooking, wiping, and daily family activity.

We added a legal basement suite to help with the mortgage. They handled every City of Burnaby permit. Tenant-ready in 12 weeks — now rents for $2,300/mo. They paid for themselves.

Our 1970s ensuite became a spa. Heated floors, walk-in shower, custom vanity. The design studio nailed our vision and the trades were respectful of our home every single day.
