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>

Will a chipped bath leak?

• <div><p>A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don’t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn’t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub’s barrier against moisture becomes weakened, making it prone to leaking. Large chips can also cause the tub to rust and even crack in half.</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 is the resurfacing or refacing process conducted for kitchen or bath surfaces?

• <div><p>The process involves cleaning the surface, applying bonding agents or new veneers, and finishing with a protective top coat or polish.</p></div>

Q: Which bathtub is easiest to maintain?

• <div><p>While they&rsquo;re heavier than their counterparts, cast-iron tubs are very simple to maintain. They have no seams and are durable, making them the easiest tub to maintain. While fiberglass and acrylic tubs are also relatively simple to maintain, they often have seams, making maintenance a little more difficult.</p></div>

They did a great job! I couldn't afford to get the entire driveway done so they paved what I could afford which was $6000. The worst part they paved which is a big help. To get it all done would have been $16000. They offered to do the rest when my budget allows.

The guesthouse addition turned out beautifully and better than we had imagined from the designs. From the outside, the addition matches the old house and the rest of the neighborhood perfectly. We've gotten many compliments from the neighbors too.
