"Nick was very professional and reliable. I was expecting to reglaze entire tub but when he saw it he suggested just refinishing the part that was worn off. He matched the glaze perfectly with the entire tub. He saved me a lot of money! I would definitely recommend Nick to anyone reglazing bathtubs. Entire tub looks brand new!!!! Very happy with his work."
"We were looking to replace a tub and fix a leak in our old house. Jeff came and inspected and gave us a very reasonable estimate. They replaced the tub and the tile contractors were great. We then thought we'd just throw in a change of toilet and that then revealed a serious flooring problem. We ended up remodeling the small bathroom and Jeff did a great job. He is honest and wants to make the customer happy."
"This was our 3rd project we contacted SILMAC Construction and Joe over the years. We need a complete refresh of condo unit in Charlestown in order to list and we working on very tight timeline. The refresh included refinishing wood floors, overall interior painting of the unit, electrical updating and final deep cleaning for showing of the unit. Joe jumped on the job on a Saturday less than 24 hours after our rental tenants moved out and completed the entire refresh in less than 10 days within the price he quote. We will continue to work Joe and Silmac in the future."
"This team was very professional, worked quickly and fit themselves into our schedule beautifully. The work was gorgeous, many people have commented that they love our “new” cabinets, not realizing that they are in fact just refinished! Would highly recommend!"
"At last, an HONEST person doing tub reglazing! There are a lot of scammers out there, one of them operating under a lot of different business names with the same awful service in all. This guy is HONEST, COMPETENT, PROFESSIONAL. He is the one to go with, and I tried others. He re-did my tub, transforming it, at a very reasonable price. Seriously, don't try the others, most of them are rip-offs, and this guy has integrity.."
"I have long used LONG to do all my projects around my home. Time and time again they deliver quality! Thank you Chris Reynard and Long Baths, I love my new Walk-In Tub"
"I am very pleased with the work completed by Crystal Renovations in my home. The company's owner, Pedro Quissalga, is knowledgeable and has a fantastic crew. He implemented the bathroom, laundry, and closet design ideas beautifully. A critical positive factor was communication. Pedro was responsive to my questions and concerns. He kept me informed every step of the way during the construction. Another important factor was their care in keeping the renovation project clean and organized. The team was also mindful of how the construction may impact the rest of the building and did their best to keep the noise level down. I highly recommend Crystal Renovations."
"Unfortunately we did not go through with this project. With materials included the cost was $750 per square foot for a small 3/4 bathroom update. We could not justify that much cost to merely update a small bathroom. I'm sure the work would have been excellent but the cost was way too high. "
Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts
Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. Bathtub installation by a plumber is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan.
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’s somewhat of a band-aid fix and won’t work for all homes, like if you have a freestanding tub.
Resurfacing countertops is relatively easy—especially for a pro. During this process, a countertop contractor will sand down or remove the existing countertop surface, make repairs, and then add a new surface or special coating. In certain instances, like if you use a laminate countertop coating system, it’s an attainable DIY for beginners.
It is best to wear a respirator during the sanding, painting, and sealing process. It can filter particles, vapors, and fumes that can be toxic to breathe. So it’s better to be safe and protect your lungs during this project.
Reglazing a bathtub can last anywhere from 3 to 15 years. With a professional application, a reglazed surface can be as durable as a new tub and should last 10 to 15 years without issues like cracking or peeling. To maximize its lifespan, clean the tub regularly and avoid using abrasive cleaners. The longevity of the reglazing can be shorter if the tub was significantly damaged before the process or if the application occurred in cold or humid weather conditions.
