Bathtub Repairing & reglazing
Bathtub repair is a service designed to fix structural and cosmetic damage to your bathtub, such as cracks, chips, scratches, or holes. The goal of bathtub repair is to restore the integrity of the tub, prevent further damage, and improve its appearance without the expense of replacing the entire tub.
- Cracks and Chips: These can develop over time due to impact (like dropping heavy objects) or from general wear and tear.
- Stains and Discoloration: Hard water stains, soap scum buildup, or aging can leave stubborn marks that are difficult to remove.
- Scratches: Acrylic and fiberglass tubs can become scratched easily, affecting both their appearance and smoothness.
- Leaks: If the seal around your bathtub is compromised, water can leak out and cause damage to the bathroom floor and walls.
- Loosening Fixtures: Faucets, handles, and drain covers may become loose or corroded over time, requiring tightening or replacement.
