When you hire a professional to refinish your bathtub, you’re trusting their experience and professionalism to ensure a quality finish. Choosing a contractor who does not use high-quality materials, has poor customer service, or fails to take proper safety precautions can lead to an unpleasant experience and an unsatisfactory result.

In this article, we will discuss the key qualities to look for in the best bathtub refinishing experts. We’ll also provide a few tips to help you find the right contractor for your project.

How long will it take to complete the job?

A refinishing expert should be able to give you an accurate estimate of the time needed to complete the project. Some factors may affect the timeline, such as whether the tub is easy to access or if there are other plumbing projects underway in the home.

The refinishing process begins with cleaning the tub and prepping the area, including removing hardware, opening windows and turning off water. After that, the existing finish is stripped and sanded to create a smooth surface. Then, primer and multiple layers of coating are applied. A final coat is then buffed for a beautiful, glossy finish.

A reputable refinisher will use only top-grade materials that are durable and guaranteed to last for 10-15 years. They will be able to explain the benefits of each material and give you examples of previous projects they’ve completed. They should also have business licenses and general liability insurance to protect you in the event that any damages occur during the refinishing process.
