What are signs that I need to refinish my bathtub?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p><b>Rust stains</b>, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating </p></li><li><p><b>Small chips</b>, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting</p></li><li><p><b>Discoloration</b>, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly </p></li><li><p><b>Dirty surfaces</b>, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do I know which caulk to use for my tub?

• <div><p>When buying caulk, look for ones labeled for tub and tile. These have either acrylic latex or silicone compounds. This allows the caulk to stick to smooth surfaces and prevent mildew from forming. </p></div>

Q: Is a peeling bathtub bad?

• <div><p>A peeling bathtub is not a good thing. It&rsquo;s a sign that the finish is coming off, and continued exposure to water and cleaning products can continue to damage the finish and eventually the underlying structure of the tub. What starts as a few chips or flakes can worsen into large chunks peeling off.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a bathtub liner or shower surround?

• <div><p>Clean with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid harsh chemicals, and periodically check seals to prevent water infiltration.</p></div>

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>

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
