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>

Q: What happens if I don’t caulk my bathtub?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t caulk your bathtub, then there won&rsquo;t be a watertight seal between your bathtub and the wall tile surrounding it. As a result, water can seep into the wall and the floor and cause the perfect breeding grounds for mold and mildew. Not only does this require costly repairs, but mold can be harmful to those breathing it. </p></div>

Q: Can you use bleach on acrylic tubs?

• <div><p>When it comes to cleaning bathrooms, bleach usually comes to mind. But like ammonia, bleach can damage acrylic tubs. In fact, many tub manufacturers warn against using bleach on acrylic bathtubs, and doing so could void the warranty on your tub. Again, a gentler cleaner specifically made for acrylic tubs, or one of the homemade methods listed above, is your better bet here.</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>

Q: How long does it take to refinish a bathtub?

• <div><p>For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub&mdash;you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side. </p></div>

She paid attention to thejobs I requested. . For instance, I requested she only use a certain kind of cleaner on my floors which she did. The result was excellent. I told her I didnâ t like dirt collecting in the corners of the floor, and she got them clean like the rest of the floor.
