Hi,
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
First just to let you know I am licensed, certified, insured, and
Acrredited with the BBB.
Considering bathroom remodeling? Consider having your bathtub
refinished for a fraction of the cost.
The majority of my clients replace their tile first then have me come
in to refinish or even just clean their tub. Saving them the headache
and expense of replacing the tub.
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 $1500 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.

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 refinishes 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) Are they a BBB Accredited business? I'm the only accredited Refinisher in Fairfield County.
h) Last but for sure not least. Is their coating rated for underwater? I doubt it!!

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) Properly masking off d) . 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.
What good is paying $300.00 to someone to refinish your tub only to turn around
and have to pay another $300.00 just to have it stripped off soon down the road.
