Will and Chris were both professional and efficient while restoring/reglazing a bathtub I had chipped by my own hand. Looking at an option to replace the bathtub altogether, the cost of hiring a plumber and installing a new piece would have run at least 1k if not more. When I found The Tub Guys during a Google search and compared the various methods employed by other tradesmen, the acrylic and epoxy alternatives are highly toxic and may require the occupants of a home to be displaced while the fumes settle over time. Also note that both epoxy and acrylic chemicals do not last as long as the advanced polymer that Will and Chris use. With proper cleaning and kid gloves, the polymer may last anywhere from 10-15 years onward. This is important to know in making your decision to call The Tub Guys if your in a tough spot and need a reasonable price for a job well done.
Chris had mentioned to me before he left my home that The Tub Guys had arranged an appointment with another client in September (2011). My service call was in early March and it's quite evident that many people are starting to realize that Will and Chris are the right tradesmen for the job. Because the damage to my tub was minimal and my reglazing was done for mere cosmetic purposes (I could have taken whiteout to it), after seeing the results post-op though I was taken with the fact I could I could see my relflection in the glossy finish and am glad I dropped my two-piece toilet in the bathtub just so I could give these fellas' some business and give my wife a piece of mind without having to look at unsightly chips.
To recap...
Stay away from do-it-yourself kits.
Stay away from tradesmen who still use acrylics and epoxies.
Do call The Tub Guys for professional results that will end up saving you money.
