FAQFrequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions East Texas homeowners ask before choosing bathtub refinishing, repair, resurfacing, or reglazing.
What is bathtub refinishing?
Bathtub refinishing, also called resurfacing or reglazing, restores the existing tub surface with repair, bonding, and a professional coating system. It is usually much less disruptive than replacing the tub.
Is refinishing cheaper than replacement?
In many cases, yes. Refinishing can avoid demolition, plumbing disruption, tile repair, and the extra cost of full replacement. Pricing depends on surface size, material, damage, and prep required.
Can BBR repair chips and cracks?
Yes. Best In The Business Refinishing LLC repairs chips, cracks, holes, worn areas, fiberglass damage, and many soft bottom issues before refinishing when the surface can be saved.
What surfaces can you refinish?
BBR refinishes fiberglass, porcelain, cast iron, acrylic, cultured marble, tile, Formica, countertops, showers, and bathtub surrounds.
How long does bathtub refinishing take?
Many tubs and showers take several hours on the first day. Depending on the job, BBR may return for polish, seal, inspection, or final instructions before use.
What areas does BBR serve?
Best In The Business Refinishing LLC serves Tyler, Longview, and surrounding East Texas communities including Athens, Palestine, Jacksonville, Henderson, Kilgore, Canton, Lindale, Whitehouse, Frankston, Nacogdoches, and Lufkin.
What warranty comes with the work?
BBR backs qualifying refinishing and repair work with written warranty protection on labor and materials. Standard refinishing work carries a 5-year written warranty, and repair work is covered by written repair warranty terms based on the surface and repair type.
Can I text photos for a quote?
Yes. Text photos of the tub, shower, tile, countertop, or damaged area for a faster estimate and clearer advice.
What maintenance is required after bathtub refinishing?
Use non-abrasive, bleach-free cleaners and avoid rough scrub pads or harsh drain chemicals directly on the finish. Proper care helps the coating last longer.
Can I change the color of my bathtub or tile?
Yes. Many outdated pink, green, beige, or worn surfaces can be refinished in a cleaner updated color when the surface is suitable for refinishing.
