"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."

Resurfacing a bathtub is less expensive than replacing one. Resurfacing a tub costs about $330 to $630, depending on the material, while replacing a tub costs an average of $4,150. But remember that resurfacing is a temporary solution for a worn-out tub, and you may need to refinish a tub every few years to keep it looking new.
Reglazing a bathtub can last anywhere from 3 to 15 years. With a professional application, a reglazed surface can be as durable as a new tub and should last 10 to 15 years without issues like cracking or peeling. To maximize its lifespan, clean the tub regularly and avoid using abrasive cleaners. The longevity of the reglazing can be shorter if the tub was significantly damaged before the process or if the application occurred in cold or humid weather conditions.
A bathtub liner is a one-piece insert that goes on top of your tub to conceal cracks, blemishes, and discoloration. Liners are made from acrylic or PVC plastic. It’s best to purchase a custom bathtub liner that matches your existing tub's size, shape, and contours, but premade liners are less expensive and also get the job done. Some bathtub liners come with a wall or shower surround to refurbish the area above the bathtub.
Before you begin caulking a shower, you’ll need to use a utility knife or solvent to remove the old caulk and inspect the area for mold. If needed, take appropriate steps to get rid of the mold, then wipe everything down with dish soap and warm water before letting it dry completely. Finally, surround the caulking area with two strips of blue painter’s tape—one above the joint where you’re caulking and another below it.
Ammonia is a powerful household cleaner, but don’t use it for your acrylic tub. Ammonia or cleaners containing this ingredient can break down the surface of the acrylic bathtub and leave it with permanent damage. Instead, try a gentler store-bought acrylic tub cleaner, or a homemade baking soda cleaner.
