"Last October, my sister, an elderly veteran living alone, contracted Genie Bath Systems to remodel her master and guest baths. She was diagnosed cancer and passed before the remodel was complete. Which, to be fair as we were not able to work with Genie while attending to my sister. The contract was expensive. Very expensive. The cost of the remodel is close to 1/4th the value of her home. I noticed there were issues with the remodel that showed a surprising lack of attention to detail. Genie sent people to address the issues twice. Yet issues remain. My calls to my contact at Genie are now being ignored. Also, the only document I have for the remodel is the contract my sister signed. It is not detailed. I have and continue to ask for a breakdown of the cost. An estimate or work order. This request is also being ignored. I am disappointed and have to wonder why Genie will not provide this information. I have several other questions for Genie that I will not go into here. But based on my experience, I cannot recommend Genie. In fact I would warn anyone considering Genie to be very careful about the cost of the contract."

"My husband and I were redoing the downstairs of our home as well as the bathroom. I asked Melvin for a bid and how much tile was needed. He and Lisa took the job, leveled the floor where it needed and did a beautiful job. We had a compass rose put in by our front door which they cut each piece out and placed accordingly. Melvin also tiled the bathroom shower and sink and did a superb job. We wanted to add some fish to the shower for our kids, so we picked a few photos out of some tropical fish and Lisa drew some up then proceeded to cut them out and they placed them on the shower wall. I also had a shower that was remodeled by a different company back in 2012. Lots of mold has grown since then, so we had Melvin rip the floor of the shower out, fix the areas that needed to be leveled for proper drainage and lay new tile. I have no complaints about that project or any other he has done. He is the best around and you can’t go wrong with hiring him!"

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.
For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed.
For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub—you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side.
If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it.
If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.
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:
Rust stains, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating
Small chips, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting
Discoloration, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly
Dirty surfaces, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating
Refinishing a bathtub is worth it if your tub has minor damage or is a color that you don't like. The cost of replacing a bathtub is more expensive than simply refinishing one, averaging around $5,300. It's more cost-effective to refinish your tub if you can, but it also gives you the look of a new bathtub without having to replace the whole thing.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Bathtub refinishing costs are relatively inexpensive and can make your bathroom look like new. Our guide gives you the information to learn more about this process.
Find out how much it costs to refinish your porcelain sink and the factors that influence the final price to make it look like new, including size, type, and labor.
If you’re installing or replacing your shower doors, you’ll be working with a glass installation pro. Here are the most common shower door questions for this project.
The short answer is yes, you can paint a fiberglass tub. But you need the right preparation and paint to transform your bathtub successfully.
Whether upgrading to a new tub or replacing an old tub with a shower, you’ll need to know how to remove a bathtub to make room.
