"We had Babcock build/move a few walls, move our boiler, and move some electrical so our washing machine/dryer could be moved to another room. There was tile flooring done as well. The initial part of the job was fine. But when the subs were involved, things got out of control. The electrician decided to do some things in our boiler room without running it by us. Then a guy adding our dryer duct work decided to do something we explicitly didn't want done. That was fixed, but the more we looked, the more we saw the subs doing whatever they had to do the job quickly, not cleanly. Here we two years later and I am still finding sub-par work - things that make it look *I* did the job on the fly, not a "professional". Examples - the plumber cut out some copper tubing that was part of a heating zone. Rather than copper it back together, he decided to use PEX on a line whose water gets to 200F, above the rating of PEX. He insulated it, however, so one couldn't readily see what he did. Today, admittedly 2 years later, I go into the roof space and find the electrician installed some junction boxes and decided to leave them on the floor. Very quality job work - definitely show up on the next home inspection. Overall Babcock and brothers seemed fine. They choice and oversight of the subs was poor. If you go with them make sure to spec everything out that the subs will do, otherwise they will do it wrong. Fortunately we had them do a relatively small job before a possible kitchen remodel. Glad we didn't have these subs handle a bigger job that needs quality"

"Rogelio was excellent. Gave us a definite estimate for 2 projects (refinish roof, $4K, and exterior painting, $4K) and finished everything very professionally. Everything cleaned up when they were done."

"Two jobs: plumb a bathtub, and install and plumb a gas wall furnace. These guys are hard workers who try to accommodate customer needs. Gabe was here several times and really knows what each job entails. We are lucky Pipeworks is local and will come out on short notice!"

Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The process involves cleaning the surface, applying bonding agents or new veneers, and finishing with a protective top coat or polish.

There are a few ways to check whether your tub is fiberglass or acrylic. If your tub is a color other than white, then your tub is likely acrylic (as fiberglass tubs are usually white). Check to see if there is discoloration on the bottom of the tub, because if it’s yellowed, then you can be fairly sure it’s fiberglass.

Also, fiberglass tubs have thinner edges and are cool to the touch. Acrylic, on the other hand, is either room temperature or warm to the touch.

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.
