Are there alternatives to caulking my bathtub?

When using alternatives to caulk, the one that is best for you depends on your preferences. </p><p>Sealant tape takes less time and effort to use, which is why some homeowners prefer it. Meanwhile, epoxy sealer creates a smooth and glossy finish that can complement your bathroom. Lastly, spray foam is waterproof and can act as insulation for your tub. </p></div>

So, if you’ve already reglazed your tub once, it might not be a realistic solution.</p><p>Some chemicals used in reglazing a bathtub can be dangerous to your health.

Q: How long does resurfacing or refacing typically last?

• <div><p>Properly maintained, resurfacing typically lasts 5-10 years. Factors like surface usage and exposure to chemicals affect longevity.</p></div>

Q: Should I refinish or replace my bathtub?

• <div><p>If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it. </p><p>If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing. </p></div>

Q: Should I refinish my bathtub or replace it?

• <div><p>The cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you&rsquo;re looking to upgrade your tub on a budget, you might be better off refinishing it for now. Additionally, if your tub has only minor damage, refinishing it will make it look new again without the extra demolition and time. </p><p> </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.

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.
