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>

How much does bathtub refinishing cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-bathtub-refinishing-cost.htm">cost to refinish a bathtub</a> is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from <b>$200 to $1,000</b> or more, depending on your tub's material and condition. </p><p>For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed. </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: Do acrylic tubs turn yellow over time?

• <div><p>Acrylic tubs can fade or turn yellow over time due to thick layers of accumulated dirt, hard water deposits from minerals, and shampoo or soap dyes. Also, as an acrylic tub ages, it may become dull or change color due to changes in the acrylic itself.</p></div>

Q: Will a chipped bath leak?

• <div><p>A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don&rsquo;t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn&rsquo;t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub&rsquo;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 often should you refinish your refinished bathtub?

• <div><p>Refinished bathtubs typically need to be refinished every <b>five years</b> or so. Frequent cleaning and use will break down the finish and make cracks and chips appear more readily. Cracks and chips tend to grow once they begin unless they are repaired immediately. Ideally, you should refinish your bathtub before it gets old enough that refinishing isn&rsquo;t worth the hassle.</p></div>

Took him two weeks to fully restore my stolen car. Had to repair the whole car, new carpet, new headliner and new electronics. Car looked great afterwards. And here is the big part: nothing rattled after being fixed. This is huge as everything inside the car was removed to be cleaned or replaced.

Everything is complete except the gutters, but given their work on the rest of the job I have no doubt it will be well done. (Edit: It was.) We found the owner, Jeff, to be very personable and informative and not sales-y at all. He knows his stuff and answered any and all questions to our...
