"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 If you have outdated bathrooms with colored sinks and bathtubs and lots of tile work, this is definitely the way to go.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
While they’re heavier than their counterparts, cast-iron tubs are very simple to maintain. They have no seams and are durable, making them the easiest tub to maintain. While fiberglass and acrylic tubs are also relatively simple to maintain, they often have seams, making maintenance a little more difficult.
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.
Refinishing or installing a tub liner comes down to your personal preference, budget, and timeline. It costs $480 to refinish a tub, and it takes about six hours. In comparison, installing a liner costs between $800 and $1,000 and takes about a day or less, including plumbing fixtures.
Persistent leaks, outdated styles, or surface damage are indicators for a replacement.
The cost to refinish a bathtub is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from $200 to $1,000 or more, depending on your tub's material and condition.
