Clean the tub/tile the best you can.
Vacuum the area. We don't want dust blowing onto the surface.

Q. Will there be fumes.
A. Yes, there are fumes generated however, I vent the fumes out a window with a   
commercial exhaust system, Place plastic over the door opening and run an air purifier
(Ozonator) outside of the bathroom to help zap any fumes that may escape the
bathroom. This works extremely well in my opinion.

Q. How far out are you usually scheduled.
A.  I usually range from 1 to 3 weeks. I typically don't advertise. Just my website here    
     and word of mouth so I'm usually not booked out that far.

Q. Why isn't it cheaper to buy a new tub?

A. When you compare one or more estimates that reflect the total cost of the
installation of a new tub with our price, you will find that Refinishing saves time and
money!  When you consider the cost of hiring a plumber/contractor as well as
purchasing the new tub, you will find that the price far exceeds reglazing your existing
fixture. We complete our work in less than one day. Therefore, in most cases, we can
save you both time, money and mess.

Q. Do you change any of the plumbing fixtures?

A. Plumbing problems (leaks, broken fixtures, etc.) must be resolved before the tub is
refinished.

Q. What about my shower door?

A. Doors must be removed prior to refinishing the tub.

Q. What is the topcoat used?

A. A high performance; two-component chemically cured Aliphatic  Acrylic Urethane      
    Gloss Enamel.  

Note: This is a very well received process that a lot of people are not even aware of.
Most people think that there are just 2 options for a old dated bathroom. Gut job or
plastic.

There is a new option in town.  Bathtub Rx, LLC to the rescue.
