How Much Time Do Bathtub Repairs Usually Take?

The actual time needed to refinish a bathtub will depend on several factors such as the extent of damages, the age of the tub, and the type of finish chosen. You can typically expect a bathtub refinishing project to take approximately 4-5 hours.

What's The Difference Between Refinishing, Resurfacing & Reglazing?

Essentially, these three terms all mean the same thing. The main difference is that refinishing refers to the entire restoration project, while reglazing refers to the commercial coating applied at the end of the refinishing process. If your tub is in good working condition, resurfacing it will ensure more durability and longevity.

Why Can't I Just Refinish My Tub As A DIY Project?

Generally, DIY projects tend to be less detail-oriented and less thorough. This means that most DIY refinished bathtubs only last 2-3 years as opposed to the 10-15 years that a professionally done tub will last. While it may be more expensive, it is recommended to invest in a professional refinishing.

How Do I Care For A Newly Repaired Tub Or Shower?

What Is The Process For Fiberglass Tub Repair?

For fiberglass tub repair, we first address the structural integrity of the unit. We fix soft spots, cracks, or holes in the floor using reinforced fiberglass resins. Once the structure is completely solid, we sand, prime, and apply a final topcoat to seamlessly blend the repair into the rest of the tub.
