Q: How often should you refinish your refinished bathtub?

• <div><p>Refinished bathtubs typically need to be refinished every <b>five years</b> or so. Frequent cleaning and use will break down the finish and make cracks and chips appear more readily. Cracks and chips tend to grow once they begin unless they are repaired immediately. Ideally, you should refinish your bathtub before it gets old enough that refinishing isn&rsquo;t worth the hassle.</p></div>

Q: What causes a bathtub to chip?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Can you fix a hole in a plastic bathtub?

• <div><p>You're more likely to accidentally crack your plastic tub rather than successfully fixing a hole. You can fix hairline cracks and larger stress cracks with a plastic tub crack repair kit from a home improvement store. You'll need to clean out the tub, apply either the epoxy resin or filler putty compound into the crack, let it dry, and then sand it out.</p><p>Depending on your budget, you might consider a new tub as part of your bathroom remodel costs. It could be a good opportunity to update everything after considering all of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bathroom-remodel-ideas.htm">bathroom remodel ideas</a> out there.</p></div>

Q: How long should I wait to use my bathtub after reglazing it?

• <div><p>Most homeowners need to wait at least two days, sometimes three, to use their bathtub following the reglazing process. That&rsquo;s the normal length of time it takes for epoxy resin to cure. There are quick-dry epoxy kits available that cure in 12 hours, though. To ensure that the epoxy dries properly, try to ventilate the bathroom as well as you can. </p></div>

Jason did a number of things at our remodel including switching a bathtub shower to a walk in and replacing another bathtub with a new one. He did all the rough in for us. He provides quality work at a fair price and he is reliable. The only plumber we will use from now on!!

The plumber, Jesse, is outstanding. He is a complete professional. He dug up my yard, replaced the PVC, and restored the yard to where you were unable to tell it was disturbed. He is a great communicator - keeps you fully informed of what is going on. I was lucky to have him fix my very bad leak.
