"My tub is gorgeous, just like new! The work was done as promised, quickly, professionally. Gunnar was prompt in relying and explaining the process and the technician was wonderful. He was so careful to keep everything clean. He sanded down the old first refinishing job and did a beautiful job on the application of the new finish. Plus, he was polite, friendly and fast. He was one of the nicest people I had ever had to work with on a project. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat. The price was also very fair."

"Marcin was very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects. His recommendations for our shower replacement really helped us. He thoroughly went through all our options and helped us fine tune our decision. His pricing was very fair and he demonstrated a sincere desire to make sure that were were happy with our decision. His work was outstanding and he even corrected some floor issues that surfaced to make sure that there would be no problems down the road. Marcin laid down a tarp throughout our house and in the bathroom work area to keep things as clean as possible. He also kept us up to date as the project progressed. He also pointed out that because our walls weren't squared, he had some difficulty aligning the shower door. IMO most contractors wouldn't bother to point this out. We love our shower, but after a little over a week, we felt that the shower door wasn't quite right and was "catching". Now talk about GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. We called Marcin and told him we thought the door wasn't quite right. His business is 30 miles away from us but he showed up the very next day and had a fix for the door, which now opens and closes perfectly. We love our new shower as it's a big improvement over our prior one and we highly recommend Marcin and DeLuxe Bath."

Customers say: True professional

"I am thrilled with the results of our tub resurfacing! Our project was completed in about 3 1/2 hrs. on 6/24/24. We opted for the low odor option & am glad we did. Noise wasn't much of a factor either. Very responsive communication which made scheduling very easy. Professional, friendly, great service. Cleaned up very well at the end of the project. Our tub, which is cast iron & very likely original to our 100 year old house, was in terrible shape. I was embarrassed to have anyone see it. Now it looks brand new! I wish I could post my before & after pics!"

"The installer showed up on time and went straight to work. We discussed a couple of issues he ran into and these were resolved to my satisfaction. It's been a few motnhs since the bathtub was removed and the new shower installed. There have been no problems."

"Bathtubs have always been a problem for my grandpa. He can’t lift his legs very high without the risk of falling over and we’ve been wanting to get a walk-in tub for a while now. After getting a few different opinions, I found these guys and they got the job done quickly, and beautifully. If you want someone who cares about the job they’re doing, this is where you find them!"

"I had Ken and his crew come out in Dec. 2019 to install a new shower and replace two sink faucets in our primary bathroom. They did a great job. We did need a little warranty work done recently and they sent out a service technician who did what we asked courteously and professionally. I love a company that stands behind their work and Prime Baths in Coal City does just that. Will use them again as needed for sure."

"Weâ re glad we selected Century City for our bathroom remodel, they came recommended by a friend and we can see why. The workers were polite & respectful, always cleaned up before the end of the day and hauled away all the debris. They used top quality materials and have an excellent warranty, we got to pick the styles we like and the work was completed within the promised timeframe. Our salesman Kevin was excellent to deal with, ensuring our satisfaction throughout the process and Jose ran a great team of workers. We will not hesitate to call Century City back for our next bathroom remodel, the prices are very reasonable and the quality of work performed exceeded our expectations."

"From Start to finish, it was the best experience. I was worried about about the project because of passed experiences. But House Doctors quickly put my worries to rest. The Sales team was open and honest from start to finish. Eric and his team were on time clean and did a great job with the shower. Highly recommend House Doctors"

Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

As with any project, refinishing your bathtub presents pros and cons to consider, such as:

Pros

  • The job is typically quick, and your tub is ready within 48 hours.

  • Your bathtub looks new.

  • You don’t need to tear out the old tub and replace it with a new one.

  • You can customize it with the color of your choice.

  • You can’t tell the bathtub has been refinished.

Cons

  • Refinished bathtubs can be slippery.

  • Not all refinishing products are created equal.

  • You need to wait up to 48 hours before using the bathtub.

You can use other ways to seal the space where your tub and the bathroom tile meet. Using sealant tape, epoxy sealer, and spray foam can be just as effective as caulking your bathtub. When using alternatives to caulk, the one that is best for you depends on your preferences. 

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.

They provide a cost-effective way to update a bathroom, prevent leaks, and improve aesthetics without a complete remodel.

Reglazing a bathtub can last anywhere from 3 to 15 years. With a professional application, a reglazed surface can be as durable as a new tub and should last 10 to 15 years without issues like cracking or peeling. To maximize its lifespan, clean the tub regularly and avoid using abrasive cleaners. The longevity of the reglazing can be shorter if the tub was significantly damaged before the process or if the application occurred in cold or humid weather conditions.
