Hi,
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
First just to let you know I am licensed, certified, insured, BBB and
PBRA member. The only PBRA member in Fairfield.
Considering bathroom remodeling? Consider having your
bathroom refinished for a fraction of the cost.
One primer we use has been used in the aerospace industry and
has very strong adhesion properties. It is a 2 part epoxy with 3
different Salines in it.
The top coat is a sprayed on Acrylic Urethane, and is used by
professional refinishing companies throughout the USA.
Refinishing versus liner.
Five Reasons of many Why Not to Consider a Bathtub or Shower
Liner.
1) A Cover-Up, Not a Solution
Liners cover up underlying problems instead of fixing them. The
moisture in bathrooms can create mold and even eat away at
structural elements which need to be replaced.
2) Trapped Water
Possibility of water getting trapped between liner and tub, creating
mold and mildew.
3) Hollow Feeling
Liners may feel "spongey" or less than stable under foot.
4) Pricey
Liners are a lot more expensive than refinishing. I've heard of recent
quotes of $1350 to $1400 just to cover the tub. Don't take my word
for it. Get an estimate yourself. If I'm wrong please let me know.
I usually can refinish a tub for less than half that amount. Leaving
you with the look and feel of the original cast iron tub.
5) Reduced dimensions
Because you are adding material, your bathtub will become smaller.

Refinishing versus replacing your existing bathtub.
Replacement tubs are generally made of cheaper quality than the
original. (Fiberglass tubs do not hold the heat like a cast iron tub)
The refinishing process takes hours versus weeks. Additionally,
The cost of refinishing is a fraction of replacing.

Picture of tub after having a liner pulled out. Notice all the lovely
back glue all over the place.
What are your options now. I think your down to a gut job.
Could of had it refinished in the first place for a whole lot less
money.
If you call a competitor ask them these following questions.
a) Who does the actual refinishing work. Is it the owner himself? How long in this business?
b) How many jobs do they do in a day? I do just 1 - Yours.
c) How much time do they spend on your tub. 1,2,3,hrs. I average 5 hours sometimes more.
d) What bonding agent is used if any?
e) Do they bring Hydrochloric Acid into your home? I sure would not want that spilled anywhere.
f) Licenced, Insured, Certified (Proper schooling)
g) PBRA member? I am the only PBRA refinisher living in Fairfield County, CT.
h) Are they a BBB Accredited business?


If all you care about is the lowest price you may not be doing yourself justice.
Remember you get what you pay for. What good is it if you hire someone solely
based on price and within an hour or two he is leaving to the next job. (I schedule
just one job). I wonder what steps were skipped. a) Proper cleaning? b) Applying
a proper bonding agent? c) Proper masking off. Is he even legit??
If you are paying very low they have to skimp on something and are probably
rushing to get to the next job. Also a low price may not turn out low with ad-ons -
example - SRS Slip Resistant Bottom. (Which to me it's like selling you a car w/o
a steering wheel) The price I give you is the price you pay. I could play that game
but, I choose not to. I am still less than 1/2 the cost of a plastic liner not to even
mention a gut job. Still want the lowest price? Tell me what part you want left out.
I compose music too. Check it out if you wish. Sorry, but it's just
a simple video. You never know who may be listening.
