Bathtub Refinishing in Ankeny, IA

Ankeny Bathtub Reglazing FAQ

What will be included in my Bathtub Refinishing?

Just as it sounds, our courteous professionals will come to your home and re-enamel your tub to improve the quality and lifespan of said bathtub. The process involves coating your tub in a synthetic acid etching (and in some cases a primer will be used beforehand). We will also repair any chips or cracks for your tub, giving it that fresh out of the store feel. Typically this can be done after removing your tub's drain. Now while this does add a little bit to the cost and time to complete, it can be well worth it to improve your bathtub's lifespan up to fifteen years. After that, a simple re-caulking is applied to help seal in the new work.

Will there be any Additional Charges that I should be Aware of?

Every job is different, so there's never a guarantee that every job will cost the same amount. With that being said, there are a few factors to take into consideration when it comes to cost. Namely the severity of damage to your bathtub will be the greatest single aspect when it comes to additional charges made. Excessive, deep damage to your tub will result in a little more money and time spent. And if your tub has been reglazed before, that older glaze will need to be stripped off before the new addition can be made. Among the list of damage to keep in mind includes any extensive water damage, deep erosion, re-grouting the tile (or just damaged tiles in general). A bathtub liner or the fiberglass that needs removing/repair will also play a factor in pricing and completion time.

Is there anything I can do to Reduce the Amount of time it will take?

First off the advice that we offer to any customer before a bathtub refinishing job is to remove all of your personal effects from the unit. We'll need to cover every inch or tub to get the finest quality glaze that lasts the longest, and that means we need every inch of space available to be glazed over. So please remove your shampoos and conditioners, soaps, body washes, and containers for all these things before we arrive. It would also help if we got a clear work space around the area, so for smaller rooms this may include removing a vanity.
