"Jay Nobles and an associate refinished a bathtub and a shower for me on 05 Aug 19. Most of the work was completed the first day with virtually no impact on other parts of the house. Jay and his partner returned the following day to complete the job (the finish had to dry overnight). I found a sag in the epoxy finish applied to the shower and mentioned it to them when they returned to complete the job and they quickly repaired it and recoated that area without issue. Both individuals were extremely professional and courteous as well as conscientious about limiting dust and odors associated with the job. The price charged was very reasonable and I highly recommend SPR Bathtub Refinishing."
Joe Papa and his son John, owners of New Surface Technology, were highly recommended to me by Home Advisor. After trying the yellow pages with absolutely no luck I called Home Advisor. They connected me to New Surface Technology. Mr. Papa called back immediately and came out the next day to make a bid. He explained how he would resurface our Cultured Marble surfaces in our bathrooms including sinks, cabinet tops, bathtub and walls around them and still be able to see the marbling of the original surface. We were having new faucets installed in our bathrooms and since it had been 28 years since they were put in, the surface around the existing faucets had stained and the new faucets would not fit the same shape to cover the stains. Joe Papa and his son worked with our plumber and made the counters and walls look almost new. They worked hard and diligently making sure we were satisfied and reworked any spots they were not happy with also. The surface looks great and there are no stains around the new fixtures. My wife and I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend New Surface Technology.

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.
Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity.
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.
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.
Typically, you should wait two to three days to use your bathtub after it has been reglazed. This allows the epoxy resin to cure properly. However, the exact waiting time can vary depending on the materials used. Some quick-dry epoxy kits may cure in as little as 12 hours, while others might have a four-hour cure time, potentially allowing for same-day use. To ensure the epoxy dries correctly, ventilate the bathroom well during the curing period. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions and consult with your reglazing professional for specific guidance on when it's safe to use the tub.
Two alternatives to reglazing are installing a bathtub inlay or a bathtub liner. An inlay is a low-priced mat that adheres to the bottom of a bathtub or shower. It’s useful for sealing minor leaks and concealing damage on the bottom of a tub. On the other hand, a bathtub liner is essentially a protective casing that goes over the entire tub. They are usually custom-fit and cost more than reglazing yet don’t last as long.
