"Bath Expo was so good. The communication was excellent in discussing the process of my installation of a new bathtub. They were forthright in all aspects of the installation.Joe Gerritsen and Lisa were great . Very thorough in their work and went above and beyond their respective roles. Clean up was done extremely well. Would highly recommend."
"From the salesperson to the install team I was 100% satisfied with my entire experience with Five Star Bath Solutions. They took the time to explain the process and make us comfortable with the whole project. They finished everything within the time frame promised and we have had zero issues since. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends. They delivered on what they promised. And our new shower bathroom is beautiful!"
"We are thrilled with our new bathrooms! The work was performed on time and with no surprises. Our technician, Grayson, was an absolute pleasure to work with and a quality craftsman who impressed us with his attention to detail and neatness throughout the project. If you have outdated bathrooms with colored sinks and bathtubs and lots of tile work, this is definitely the way to go. A complete bathroom remodel would have required removing wall and floor tiles as well as cast iron tub and sink and would have cost around $9,000+. We replaced our toilets and faucets, had our vanity refinished and let Miracle Method handle the rest for half the cost. I highly recommend Miracle Method!!"
"Lance Home Repairs did a fantastic job with my porch door frame. It had a lot of rotten wood and he was able to fix it and install a new door in a day. We needed it done quickly for our Airbnb. Very friendly and professional."
"Our bathtub was leaking and the floor was dipping. John the representative was wonderful to work with. In 2 weeks Matt the installer came out and removed our cast iron tub. He repaired the plumbing, put in a new subfloor and installed a walk in shower. He was a hard worker and answered any questions we had. Our bathroom looks beautiful! We are very happy. And there is a lifetime warranty!"
"Dover is a long standing company that we reached out to based on reputation alone. They are a well oiled machine. They did not disappoint. Our 1950s home now has a beautiful and very low maintenance 3 season room that is seamlessly tied into our brick home. Our completely remodeled kitchen with Amish built hickory cabinets and modern finishes is outstanding. The skilled tradesman did a fabulous job. The designer and project manager were easy to work with and kept the project moving. Would highly recommend!"
"Floor Essence installed laminate flooring in Living & Dining Room. Floors look great and the guys got the job done in a single day. Very pleased with the work."
"Paul was very skilled and professional. His work was done quickly and efficiently. The new bathtub looks great. The caulking was excellent. I am very pleased with how the new tub looks. Paul was very willing to answer questions and also to ask me how I wanted things done. I definitely recommend him and Joyce Windows Sunrooms and Bath"
Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts
The process of reglazing or refinishing a standard-sized bathtub typically takes between two to five hours. The duration can be longer if the tub has significant cracks or gouges that need repair or if it is an oversized or specialty tub. After the refinishing work is complete, the surface needs to set and cure for another 24 to 48 hours before it can be used. Proper ventilation is important for safety during this time. Once fully cured, a reglazed tub can last for 10 years or more.
Costs vary by materials used, surface size, and complexity. Refacing can be cost-effective compared to full replacements, with an average range between $300 and $1,200.
If you don’t caulk your bathtub, then there won’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.
Bathtubs chip for a number of reasons. The primary cause is simply an accumulation of accidents or direct impact from objects over time. Heavy items will do this, like an iron, but so will lighter objects, like shampoo bottles, especially if you drop them from high enough.
The cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you’re looking to upgrade your tub on a budget, you might be better off refinishing it for now. Additionally, if your tub has only minor damage, refinishing it will make it look new again without the extra demolition and time.
