Q: Should I refinish or replace my bathtub?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Is a bathtub liner a good idea?

• <div><p>A bathtub liner can be a good idea if your budget is your top concern when planning a bathroom remodel. Installing a new bathtub liner can give your bathroom the look of a complete renovation without the high price tag. But, it&rsquo;s somewhat of a band-aid fix and won&rsquo;t work for all homes, like if you have a freestanding tub. </p></div>

Q: Should I refinish my bathtub or install a bathtub liner?

• <div><p>Refinishing or installing a tub liner comes down to your personal preference, budget, and timeline. It costs $480 to refinish a tub, and it takes about six hours. In comparison, installing a liner costs between $800 and $1,000 and takes about a day or less, including plumbing fixtures.</p></div>

Q: What causes holes in a bathtub?

• <div><p>While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.</p><p>Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.</p></div>

Not only did they check out the problem I knew about but they also inspected the rest of the roof. They found some other major problems; vent pipes cracked and loose screws holding the roof. They were able to fix it all. Very pleased
