What are signs that I need to refinish my bathtub?

• <div><p>There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Rust stains</b>, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating </p></li><li><p><b>Small chips</b>, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting</p></li><li><p><b>Discoloration</b>, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly </p></li><li><p><b>Dirty surfaces</b>, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of bathtub liners and shower surrounds?

• <div><p>They provide a cost-effective way to update a bathroom, prevent leaks, and improve aesthetics without a complete remodel.</p></div>

Q: Are there other ways to refinish a bathtub?

• <div><p>Two alternatives to reglazing are installing a bathtub inlay or a bathtub liner. An inlay is a low-priced mat that adheres to the bottom of a bathtub or shower. It&rsquo;s useful for sealing minor leaks and concealing damage on the bottom of a tub. On the other hand, a bathtub liner is essentially a protective casing that goes over the entire tub. They are usually custom-fit and cost more than reglazing yet don&rsquo;t last as long.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to reglaze a tub?

• <div><p>Refinishing a bathtub takes about two to four hours, but let the surface set for another 24 to 48 hours before using it again. Once it's set, your tub should last for 10 years or more. Ventilating the bathroom during this time is key for safety. In comparison, it takes about four hours to install a new bathtub.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How long does it take the tub resurfacing smell to go away?

• <div><p>It takes about 24 hours for the tub resurfacing smell to go away or the total dry time, although you will notice it the most during the first couple of hours. Refer to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions or ask your bathtub resurfacing pro how long it takes for the smell to dissipate. </p></div>

Dosal Renovation exceeded expectations during the repair of some damage to my drywall. They ensured that the restoration restored the original appearance of the drywall when we first moved into our home.

If I could rate this company zero stars, I would without hesitation. My project was canceled not once, but twice, and despite no work being completed, my account was still charged. This level of incompetence is utterly disgraceful and reeks of unprofessionalism. Rest assured, I will escalate...

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it was fine. I paid about $120 over the price of the deal to clean the rest of the ducts that were not included in the Big Deal. I did not expect this cost. I have never used this company before. They were convenient.
