Above all, remember this: A like-new bathtub appearance cannot be achieved with Do-It-Yourself products. Only a professional refinisher has access to the high-tech, durable coatings that are required to give a bathtub its shiny new appearance. More importantly, only a seasoned, professional refinisher has the tools and skill to apply the surface correctly. Jim has mastered the art of refinishing and continues to be meticulous in every step of his work - truly an artist in his refinishing skills!
Bathtub refinishing is also known as bathtub resurfacing, bathtub re-glazing, bathtub refurbishing, and bathtub re-enameling.
No matter the term used, bathtub refinishing is a "sprayed-on" process that makes a worn out, damaged bathtub look like new.
Bathtubs are made from porcelain, acrylic, fiberglass, or cultured marble. Prices start at $750 and go up depending on size and condition.
Acrylic and Fiberglass bathtubs can be part of a one-piece wall unit, meaning the tub and surrounding walls are one molded piece of material.
If there is no caulk line that clearly separates the bathtub from the surrounding walls, that would indicate a one-piece wall unit, which means even if only the bathtub needs refinishing, the entire unit must be refinished. Prices start at $1750.
Regarding oversized bathtubs, there is no 'standard' size. These tubs are typically located in a Master bathroom, and can be made from cultured marble, acrylic, or fiberglass.
Some oversized tubs are jetted, and some have steps, ledges, and shelves.
Square footage and tub age and condition factors into the pricing, with costs typically starting at $1450.
Clawfoot bathtubs are made of porcelain over very heavy cast iron.
We only refinish these type tubs in a climate-controlled bathroom large enough to be able to move around the tub to spray, because we can only spray the areas we can reach.
Repair and refinishing costs typically start at $975.
If the tile surrounding your bathtub looks old and dingy like your bathtub, we can make the entire tub and tile surround look like new by refinishing both at the same time.
Repair and refinishing costs for a standard-size bathtub and its 3 walls of surrounding tile depends on the height of the tile wall, with prices typically starting at $1750.
ACCIDENTS Happen! From hammers dropping into tubs to soap dishes and towel bars falling off walls, chips can happen in homes under construction, in homes just built, and in homes lived in for years!
Jim has been repairing chips in bathtubs for homebuilders and homeowners across DFW for over 45 years. Let Jim do it right the first time around. Minimum repair charge is $275.
Shower walls can be made of tile, fiberglass, acrylic, or cultured marble, and we can refinish them all!
NOTE: On TILE walls, look for darkened areas or missing grout, then to ensure the walls behind the tile are still in good condition before refinishing, push gently on those tiles to see if any feel loose or 'soft' to the touch, which may indicate water damage. Prices start at $1750.
Acrylic, Fiberglass, and Cultured Marble showers can be a one-piece wall unit, meaning the shower walls and floor are one molded piece of material.
If there is no caulk line that clearly separates the shower walls from the floor, it is a one-piece shower 'wall unit'. In this case, even if only the shower floor needs refinishing, the entire unit must also be refinished. Prices start at $1750.
Shower floors can be made of tile, fiberglass, acrylic, or cultured marble. There is one type of surface that we cannot guarantee, and that is tile.
The reason we cannot guarantee a refinished tile floor is because the pan below the floor tends to hold moisture that can works its way up through the grout lines, causing the refinished surface to bubble and peel. Prices start at $750.
