How do I know if my tub is fiberglass or acrylic?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to check whether your tub is fiberglass or acrylic. If your tub is a color other than white, then your tub is likely acrylic (as fiberglass tubs are usually white). Check to see if there is discoloration on the bottom of the tub, because if it’s yellowed, then you can be fairly sure it’s fiberglass.</p><p>Also, fiberglass tubs have thinner edges and are cool to the touch. Acrylic, on the other hand, is either room temperature or warm to the touch.</p></div>

Q: Should I replace or refinish my bathtub?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-refinish-or-replace-your-bathtub.htm">resurface or reglaze your bathtub</a>, and it&rsquo;s faster and less expensive than replacing a bathtub. Plus, replacing a bathtub is an extensive and intrusive process that requires wall repairs. Refinishing is an excellent option if the old one is in good working condition.</p><p>There are also options to install a bathtub liner over your existing tub. However, if you&rsquo;re seeking a new bathtub with new features, you&rsquo;ll likely want to replace your tub.</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 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>

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>

I contacted L&L services to figure out a drainage issue. I had a drain line to my bathtub seperated from the main line. I previously paid another plumbing company to replace old cast iron pipe and while that company replaced most of it, this piece was not. He replaced it, and cleaned up some...

Jenna spent about 6 hours cleaning and scrubbing floors, cabinets, frig, bathtubs, toilets and sinks. She did a very thorough and professional job. She also did the floors in the living room and dining room. I would definitely recommend Jenna for any cleaning job you have no matter how tough.

"I do not recommend Bath Planet. The cost is exorbitant for such a pretty product made with poor quality materials and shoddy installation. There is too much give in the flimsy walls and pan. After only a month, I had to have someone come in and recaulk. It took a LOT of caulk for the big gaps. Yes, there was mold. Then, two years later, yet another issue. We noticed a squishing sound in the hall, then water started coming up between the floorboards. It took a plumber two trips (and a week of using no water in that end of the house - no dishwasher, kitchen sink, laundry, or bathroom) so the floors could dry and he could find the source of the water. Turns out, the shower drain was not properly installed, or perhaps it had worked itself loose with the flimsy bendable pan. Water was draining between the concrete slab and our pvc laminate flooring. Yes, I am upset. I am so sorry I allowed Bath Planet anywhere near my house."
