F.A.Q.
(Frequently Asked Questions)

If I have my tub refinished how long will it last?
Our technologies provide long lasting finished surfaces.
            You should expect 10-15 years worth of service from your refinished fixture.

How long does it usually take to refinish a tub?
Usually about two hours depending on how much work it needs.

My tub was refinished by someone else and is peeling. What happened?
Most likely you have a surface bonding problem. The company that refinished your tub most likely used
            either inexpensive, inferior materials, and/or poorly trained personnel. At Affordable Refinishing we only
            use the finest materials and our technicians are highly trained.

Is it possible to refinish a fiberglass tub enclosure?
Yes. Fiberglass or gel-coat tubs require a different type of etching process but once completed are just
            as durable as regular bathtubs.

My fiberglass tub has a large crack in it. Is it ruined or can you fix it?
No, your tub is not necessarily ruined and yes, it is definitely fixable.

How long must I wait to use my newly refinished tub?
About 24 hours.

I heard that when a tub is redone, it gives off an odor.
Newly refinished tubs can give off a slight odor for a short time.

I use my tub to dye my hair. Will it damage or stain my newly refinished tub?
No, your new finish is resistant to hair coloring chemicals.

I would like to buy an old fashioned "Claw foot" tub. Where I can get one?
We sell Claw foot tubs. Both new and refinished - any size, color or configuration.

My ceramic tile tub enclosure is a really dated color. Can it be re-colored?
Your bathroom tile can be re-colored to any color you want.
