"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."

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."

"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

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.

Bathtub refinishing costs an average of $460 and includes removing the finish, sanding or acid etching the surface, priming it, and applying an epoxy coating. After the coating cures, the bathtub should look as good as new, and the finish should last between seven and 10 years. Because bathtub refinishing requires hazardous chemicals, you should call a bathtub refinisher to do the job.

Resurfacing a tub is worth it if there are just a few dings, scratches, or chips. Expect to pay about $330 to $630 to refinish a tub. You can restore your tub to looking brand new for less money than replacing the tub. But you're better off replacing old bathtubs with heavy damage, mold, or other major issues.

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:

  • Rust stains, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating 

  • Small chips, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting

  • Discoloration, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly 

  • Dirty surfaces, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating

When it comes to cleaning bathrooms, bleach usually comes to mind. But like ammonia, bleach can damage acrylic tubs. In fact, many tub manufacturers warn against using bleach on acrylic bathtubs, and doing so could void the warranty on your tub. Again, a gentler cleaner specifically made for acrylic tubs, or one of the homemade methods listed above, is your better bet here.
