Porcelain Patch and Glaze offers electrostatic refinishing services that will transform appliances, fixtures, tile and even furniture.

I discovered Porcelain Patch when it was time to sell my condo. I lived in an early 1970s building. In the late 1960s and early '70s colored appliances and fixtures were all the rage. In my complex you either had the blue, the harvest gold, the avocado green, or the brown color scheme. Everything in your condo was the same dated hue - the sinks, the stove, the fridge, the tub - each and every piece.

Over time I had replaced most of the appliances and fixtures but I still had a gold stove hood and an unattractive tiled backsplash. Something needed to be done.

Porcelain Patch sent out a packet of information in advance of my appointment. Oh the possibilities! It would never have occurred to me that so many items could be refinished and recolored. My metal file cabinets and metal desk would have to wait but the metal bi-fold doors were added to the list for refinishing. And while I was playing it safe with a white color scheme for an immediate resale, one could dream of color choices for future projects - there are over 300 subtle shades and bold hues available to transform a boring appliance or an old cabinet.

The process involves acid etching, removing rust, filling holes, sanding, and finally priming and glazing. Work is typically done at your home or office.

The company has a long list of satisfied customers. The Gleason family opened the company in 1938, over seventy years ago. Today business is booming and depending on the time of year there may be several weeks wait for your project.
