"I fully paid for the job; however, the resurfacer needed to return to redo some of the job. Unfortunately, due to personal problems, the resurfacer did not show up that day. We set another day, but he did not show up that day, nor did he respond to my many calls. He ghosted me until I went through Anji's intervention process. He promised to come again in the future, but by them I had lost all confidence in his returning. I never got the job adequately done."

Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts

The reglazed tub won’t last as long as a brand-new bathtub. Professional reglazing jobs can only last up to 15 years.

According to most pros, you can only reglaze a tub once or twice. So, if you’ve already reglazed your tub once, it might not be a realistic solution.

Some chemicals used in reglazing a bathtub can be dangerous to your health. If you’re DIYing the project, ensure the room is ventilated, and always wear a mask. If you hire a contractor, make sure you get the clearance to use the bathroom again.

Resurfacing a tub is worth it if there are just a few dings, scratches, or chips. Expect to pay about $330 to $630 to refinish a tub. You can restore your tub to looking brand new for less money than replacing the tub. But you're better off replacing old bathtubs with heavy damage, mold, or other major issues.
