Are there alternatives to caulking my bathtub?

• <div><p>You can use other ways to seal the space where your tub and the bathroom tile meet. Using sealant tape, epoxy sealer, and spray foam can be just as effective as caulking your bathtub. When using alternatives to caulk, the one that is best for you depends on your preferences. </p><p>Sealant tape takes less time and effort to use, which is why some homeowners prefer it. Meanwhile, epoxy sealer creates a smooth and glossy finish that can complement your bathroom. Lastly, spray foam is waterproof and can act as insulation for your tub. </p></div>

How do I know if my tub is fiberglass or acrylic?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

What are signs that I need to refinish my bathtub?

• <div><p>There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Rust stains</b>, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating </p></li><li><p><b>Small chips</b>, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting</p></li><li><p><b>Discoloration</b>, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly </p></li><li><p><b>Dirty surfaces</b>, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Jason was absolutely fabulous. Fix the toilet and when I spoke about an issue I was having with the bathtub he also fix that. Matt Mertz is the only call I will ever make for plumbing and anything else they do.

Did an excellent job. They found a leak behind the old bathtub that they repaired. That leak would have cost a lot more if I had to bring another plumber in to repair as it was behind the walls.
