Q: Which is better—an acrylic or fiberglass tub?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

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: How do I know which caulk to use for my tub?

• <div><p>When buying caulk, look for ones labeled for tub and tile. These have either acrylic latex or silicone compounds. This allows the caulk to stick to smooth surfaces and prevent mildew from forming. </p></div>

Q: How long after a tub is installed can you use it?

• <div><p>You can use a new bathtub after 24 to 48 hours. It's best to double-check with your plumber, though, because the time can depend on the type of bathtub installed and special process or materials used. For example, certain sealants need longer to cure, or if the installation involves extensive plumbing work, the plumber might want you to wait. </p></div>

"I've been with them for twenty years, since I bought my house, and they've done a lot of work for me over twenty years; many, many, many jobs. That's why I stay with them. They replaced my whole air conditioning system five years ago. They've done a lot of work for me. I paid my $75 for the call; $75 for a $5,000 air conditioner. That's why I stay with them. Everything they did was an A. When I call AHS, they usually come the next day. It took about three days for the work to be completed. "
