It will depend on the care and type of use it will be exposed to. Wall tile can last longer since is not typically being immersed in hot water and also not subject to the same chemicals as a bathtub.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"title\"><span>How long it will take?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"content\"><p>The average debris free tub takes approximately 3 to 4 hours to complete. If your tub has been refinished once before or has soap build up and other materials, the process may take 4 to 5 hours. A fiberglass tub with 3 smooth walls may take 4 to 6 hours. A tub with 3 tiled walls 4 to 6 hours. All times are approximate and could run longer or shorter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"title\"><span>Is there going to be a strong smell?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"content\"><p>An industrial exhaust system is used to vent the fumes out of the house. The fumes will be vented out through a window or door and the odor will be minimal. Keep in mind that the actual spraying process only takes 30 to 60 min and once the spraying process is complete any minor fumes or odor will dissipate out of the house within 10 to 20 minutes. You will of course still have a coating odor in the bathroom where the work was done. The door will be closed once the work is completed and the odor in the bathroom will dissipate as your new finish dries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"title\"><span>How durable is the finish?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"content\"><p>We use one of the best urethane products in the country. The new urethanes that are availble today are incredible! They look like porcelain, they are meant to be immersed in water and they are very durable with the ability to expand and contract with temperature changes plus having flexibility. With normal use your new finish can last 10 plus years at which point you can simply have it refinished again. Much easier than tearing out a tub every 10 plus years and a lot less expensive. Refinished tile can last longer as the tile is not typically being immersed in hot water and also not subject to the same wear as a bathtub.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"title\"><span>Is white the only color available?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"content\"><p>There are unlimited colors available. You can choose your favorite color and we are going to be able to match it, we also have speck granite-like finishes for countertop as well as Tubs and Tiles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"title\"><span>What if my bathtub has chips?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"content\"><p>Small scratches, chips and cracks on flat areas are filled by the primer and final coating as part of the process with no extra charge. Unscrupulous refinishers won&#8217;t tell you that and will charge you extra. Some large chips, cracks and scratches can be repaired during the prepping process witha filler for an aditional fee, which varies on amount of work needed<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"title\"><span>What if my bathtub has rust spots?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"content\"><p>Many older tubs and sometimes the newer ones will have rust stains from iron in the water or actual rust where the porcelain has been worn through and allowed rusting. During the prepping process rusted areas are cleaned and sanded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"title\"><span>Do you refinish clawfoot bathtubs?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"content\"><p>Yes, we refinish clawfoot tubs on site, some companies require the tub to be transported to them, we do not.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"title\"><span>Do shower doors need to be removed?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"content\"><p>Yes, shower doors will need to be removed to get access to the bathtub for refinishing. Only the doors will need to be removed and &#8220;not&#8221; the track on the tub step over or the track on the side of the walls. The tracks will be carefully masked off before spraying. We can remove the tracks for you for an extra fee for a perfect uniform finish. *If you are not able to remove the doors yourself, We will gladly remove them for you with the understanding that we are not responsible for any damage to your doors. Please remove the tracks if you no longer want shower doors or are updating door(s).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row tlg_background_style=&#8221;bg-secondary&#8221; tlg_padding=&#8221;pb0&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"headings-title\"><div class=\"mb72 mb-xs-40 text-left\"><div  class=\"widgetsubtitle mb8\">Here are just some of our customers reviews<\/div><h5  class=\"widgettitle mb0\">Happy Customers<\/h5><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row tlg_background_style=&#8221;bg-secondary&#8221; tlg_padding=&#8221;pt0&#8243;][vc_column]<div id=\"testimonial_6a12c4a48d348\" class=\"testimonials\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-sm-4\">\n    <div class=\"feature boxed image-round-100\">\n    \t    \t<div class=\"quote content xss-text\">\"He is very professional &amp; has great customer service.

I was so skeptical about painting an old tub that was rusted and worn but due to Francisco\u2019s superb craftsmanship, we now have a beautiful tub that looks like brand new. I was impressed with how he took the time to come out to our house the night before the scheduled appointment and treated the rust in the tub. Then promptly came the next day and completed the job. After seeing how beautiful the tub looked, we also had him paint the bathroom sink to match the color of the tub.
