Professional Bathtub Refinishers Association - Independent Refinishers:
PBRA is a group of independent bathtub and shower refinishers. They also handle tile, laminate countertops, and a variety of other surface restoration jobs.
Refinishing: More Than Miracle Method and Permaglaze:
Miracle Method and Permaglaze are two well-known franchise groups that dominate the tub and shower refinishing world. But there is an independent group: Professional Bathtub Refinishers Association - PBRA
Lead Generation for the Refinishing Industry:
It is not possible to immediately find out if a PBRA-member company is in your area. The PBRA website has an online form that interested homeowners or business owners can complete to have a PBRA member contact them.
Freedom - But within Limits:
One downside of franchised operations like Permaglaze is that they force franchisees to use proprietary materials. PBRA does not bind its members to using any certain materials.
PBRA: Professional Organization or Just a Website?:
At this time, it is unclear if PBRA is an actual professional organization. It appears to be little more than a website supported by its members, with little organization or administration backing it up. We have put in a note to PBRA to clear this up; we will this information when we receive it.
