Professional Disc Refinishing

Bring Your Scratched Discs Back to Life

Power Up Gaming uses professional-grade robotic disc refinishing equipment to restore the playable surface of scratched CDs, DVDs, and eligible disc-based games. Whether it is one favourite game or a whole stack of discs, we can help make them look dramatically better.

Powered by the ELM ECO Master

Power Up Gaming invested in professional-grade equipment because disc condition matters. Our fully robotic ELM ECO Master disc refinisher can automatically refinish up to 50 discs at a time, helping restore scratched disc surfaces with a level of consistency that ordinary home kits and cheap resurfacing tools simply cannot match.

This is the same machine we use for our own store inventory, and we have trusted it for over 8 years as part of our quality-control process. It is one of the reasons Power Up Gaming is known for disc quality that stands far above the usual used-game experience.

Disc refinishing is not just about making a disc look nicer. A cleaner, professionally refinished surface can help reduce read issues caused by surface scratches and can make a disc look dramatically better in your collection.

How It Works

Disc refinishing is available for both in-store drop-off and mail-in service within Canada.

Drop Off or Mail In

Bring your discs to Power Up Gaming in Barrie or contact us about mailing them in from within Canada.

We Refinish Them

Your discs are processed using our professional robotic disc refinishing system.

Pick Up or Ship Back

Pick up your discs in-store or have them returned by courier at your cost.

Most refinishing jobs have a typical turnaround of 24 hours. Larger batches, high-volume periods, equipment issues, staffing limitations, carrier delays, or other complications beyond our control may require additional time.

Disc Refinishing Pricing

Pricing is based on the number of discs being refinished. Larger batches receive better per-disc pricing.

Number of Discs Price Per Disc
1 to 9 discs $5.00 each
10 to 25 discs $4.50 each
26 to 49 discs $4.00 each
50+ discs $3.50 each

Prices are subject to change without notice. Taxes may apply where required.

What Disc Refinishing Can Help With

Disc refinishing is designed to improve the readable surface of eligible discs by reducing or removing many surface scratches, scuffs, and marks.

Surface Scratches

Many light to moderate scratches on the readable side of a disc can be improved through professional refinishing.

Scuffs and Cloudiness

Refinishing can help clean up worn-looking discs and restore a smoother, clearer surface.

Collection Quality

Even if a disc already reads, refinishing can make it look significantly better for collectors and resale.

What We Cannot Fix

Disc refinishing is powerful, but it is not magic. Some damage cannot be corrected by resurfacing or refinishing.

  • Blu-ray format discs
  • Cracked discs
  • Warped discs
  • Disc rot
  • Label-side damage
  • Deep data-layer scratches
  • Heat or chemical damage
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Severely gouged discs
  • Discs with missing reflective/data layers
Important: Disc refinishing does not guarantee that a disc will work. We do not test discs when they arrive, and we do not test discs after refinishing to confirm that they read. Some discs have damage that cannot be seen clearly, including data-layer damage, disc rot, manufacturing defects, or media failure. In rare situations, a disc that was readable before refinishing may not read afterwards because of pre-existing issues with the disc media itself.

Important Service Disclaimer

Disc refinishing is a cosmetic and surface restoration service. It is intended to improve the readable surface of eligible discs by reducing surface scratches and scuffs. It is not a guaranteed disc repair service.

Power Up Gaming does not guarantee that refinishing will restore a disc to working condition. We do not test customer discs before refinishing, and we do not test customer discs after refinishing. Customers are responsible for knowing what they are submitting and understanding that some discs may have damage or media failure that cannot be fixed through refinishing.

Some issues may be caused by disc rot, data-layer damage, label-side scratches, cracks, warping, manufacturing defects, heat damage, chemical damage, or other problems that are not repairable through refinishing.

By submitting discs for refinishing, you understand that the service may not restore disc function and that, in rare situations, a disc that previously read may fail to read after refinishing due to pre-existing or unstable disc media issues.
