"Fairbanks did an amazing job replacing our shower. Robert and Patrick, our installers, were so professional. We hardly heard any noise, and they were always courteous, explaining everything to us, asking us to inspect the work, and then cleaning up quickly and efficiently. They refinished part of our wall and installed the most perfect, beautiful new shower for us. The company also walked us through every step of the way, following up with phone calls and emails. I highly recommend them for a beautiful, quality job."

"Overcharged. 18k for trim around windows and luxe stone shower surround which was not completed. Minimal refund of $400.00 was given for incomplete portion. Do not recommend it at all."
Yes. Common materials for Roman tubs are acrylic, fiberglass, cast iron, and stone resin. The choice you make can depend on various factors, including weight, cost, durability, style, heat retention, and aesthetics. Ultimately, it really depends on your space to determine the best option.
A peeling bathtub is not a good thing. It’s a sign that the finish is coming off, and continued exposure to water and cleaning products can continue to damage the finish and eventually the underlying structure of the tub. What starts as a few chips or flakes can worsen into large chunks peeling off.
Reglazing a bathtub is worth it if your current tub is in good condition and needs to be refinished or reglazed to bring it back to its shiny, smooth glory. While battered bathtubs might need to be refinished, bathtub refinishing is worth it, too, because it can make tubs with surface imperfections, shallow cracks and scratches, and staining look like new. Reglazing a bathtub is less expensive than refinishing, and both are less than the cost of bathtub replacement.
As with any project, refinishing your bathtub presents pros and cons to consider, such as:
Pros
The job is typically quick, and your tub is ready within 48 hours.
Your bathtub looks new.
You don’t need to tear out the old tub and replace it with a new one.
You can customize it with the color of your choice.
You can’t tell the bathtub has been refinished.
Cons
Refinished bathtubs can be slippery.
Not all refinishing products are created equal.
You need to wait up to 48 hours before using the bathtub.
No. You should let the caulk completely dry before you expose it to moisture. It’s safest to wait at least a full day before showering where you’ve recently caulked. Showering before caulk is fully dry can lead to a poor seal, meaning water can seep into cracks and cause damage and mold growth.
