Tub, Shower, & Tile Refinishing Primers
The Best Bathtub Primers on the Market
We have a bathtub refinishing primer for any job
Many refinishers don’t give much thought to a tub refinishing primer. They used what worked for them in the past. Maybe it’s time to revisit your refinishing primer of choice.
NAPCO’s Bathtub Refinishing Wipe-On Primer
You can save approximately $250 per tub using our innovative Gorilla Grip wipe-on primer. Gorilla Grip saves you an hour or more of difficult prep and that means money in your pocket. No etching, sanding, spraying primer or cleaning your gun after priming. It really is a time saver!
NAPCO’s Standard Bathtub, Tile, & Shower Refinishing Primers
We offer two standard refinishing primers: Epoxy Primer Resin and High Build Primer.
Epoxy Primer Resin can be your daily go-to tub refinishing primer. It works great on porcelain, cast iron, steel or ceramic surfaces. It takes only 5 – 10 minutes to dry.
Our High Build refinishing primer fixes imperfections as you spray, resulting in a smooth and durable surface on which to apply the topcoat.

Review by Michael Marciano – Rochester, NY
NAPCO Ltd
Rating 
My name is Michael Marciano and I've been refinishing bathtubs & tile for 8-years. Over that time I've experimented with multiple different coating providers such as Hawk Coatings, Shark Grip, Top Coat, Rustoleum, European Coatings, and NAPCO. Some coatings being more cost effective then others, some more convenient to purchase / acquire, but at the end of the day the 4-hour cure, customer service, work ability of their coating has concreted NAPCO as my only chemical provider moving forward.
The trade in program offered by NAPCO is a great resource for any refinisher on the fence about switching to NAPCO full time, they took all of my remaining competitor coatings and gave me more then a $1,000 in product to replace the aging coatings on my shelf and remove the thought of using a competitors product.
Thank you once again Larry for you great customer service and letting an existing customer utilize this program.

We have been using Napco products for about 1.5 years now. Napco products have always exceeded our expectations. We primarily use their 320 Product lines. After we depleted our stock of their Poly Tub & Tile Prep we ordered their new tile preparation product (Piranha Prep). The Piranha Prep is a concentrated solution that cleaned the tubs very well without those harsh chemical odors.
So, on the behalf of Richardson HomeWorks LLC, we thank you for such an amazing Tub and Tile Prep.
