The cost of replacing a bathtub means the tile surround must come down. This is because the bathtub has a "lip" that goes behind the tile on all 3 walls. Please keep in mind, the bathtub is usually installed before the finish carpentry is completed so you may run into the need for widening doors to remove the old tub and get the new tub in. This is why most opt for a standup shower when removing a bathtub. Replacement of a bathtub can very easily range from $3,000 - $10,000 +. 
I will come in and chemically bond a new permanent porcelain glaze to the bathtub, tile surround refinishing is very popular too. The price will very according to the condition of the refinishing project, accessibility to the project (multiple stair sets, parking within 35 feet of the front door), However, you will find on general bathtub refinishing is about 80% less than replacing, can be finished in one day, returns to service 24 hours later. No waste in the landfill of the old tub, and renews the life of your existing structure.

Dallas Bathtub Refinishing bathtub, shower and tile resurfacing is also called reglazing or refinishing. These are simply different terms that mean the same thing. My bathtub, shower and tile refinishing is completed by me. As an owner operated business in Dallas, TX. since 1992! I want you to expect very friendly, professional and polite service from me. I want you to be excited to see your new looking fixture and expect for it to last well over 10 - 15 years before needing refinished again. The chemical weld test video below:

• shows a test tile demonstrating how important molecular bonding is.
• The video will also demonstrate how the average consumer would never know if the bonding agent was ever used.
• I use a 2 part chemical weld called silane coupling agent. Silane is activated by moisture and chemically welds the new surface to the old surface. This is why I say proper bathtub refinishing is a synergistic system that not only combines a very high quality silane with a very high quality water proof finish coat like polyester that is made for bathtub, tile and shower refinishing. One thing I did not show in the video below was the etching, which I accomplish with a spun fiber disk rotating at 2600 RPM's.
• The video below simply shows how great the silane coupling agent works to provide a chemical weld and tie the two surfaces together.

This provides a gorgeous glossy white surface that should provide the customer with years of use. The surface is rated at a 20 year life expectancy.
Bathtub Refinishing Refinishing Near Me

Remember with refinishing or as it is sometimes called resurfacing, you are having a new surface integrated into the old surface. The last thing you want is a "water resistant" paint layered on top of your old surface. This is why so many bathtub painting projects end in a peeling mess. The reason is not very complicated when you think about it. Epoxy and urethane paints are water resistant. They are not meant to be used in areas that produce a lot of moisture and especially hot water. That is asking a lot out of a paint. The second reason is when the surface is used with hot water condensation forms between the original surface and the paint. This condensation will literally peel the paint off in sheets.

So you have seen what I see on a .. I wont say weekly but I will say monthly basis. The truth is the correct coatings have to be used and this so much more than just a specific coating. Although the copolymer coating is what the customer sees on top and sure that seems to get all the credit. You will find that true bathtub refinishing is a Synergistic cumulative effect. First the original surface has to be etched. This is the process of creating microscopic scratches and pores in the old surface. Next is a product called silane. Silane was developed by the aerospace industry. The reason is because it uses moisture as a catalyst to chemically weld the new surface and the old surface together. (remember how the video above showed what happens when condensation forms under the new surface). Silane like many other things comes in different grades. From low grade to very high quality. I use the very high quality 2 part silane solution so it is not premixed when I receive it and possibly weakened by the heat, cold or age. The finish coat is a copolymer coating infused with polyester and silicone resin that closely mimics the look and feel of porcelain. Other things happen because of the high quality coating that you may not have even considered. Such as these are low V.O.C coatings that cannot grow mildew and algae!  Non yellowing, will not become brittle, will not fade, crack or peel! A life expectancy of 20 + years with a 2 year limited warranty! Get pictures, information, F.A.Q., Pricing and more at Dallas Bathtub Refinishing Services 

Bathtub refinishing prices are of course something to be concerned about! Who wants to overpay for bathtub resurfacing? However, when you learn that other refinishers are spraying Epoxy and Acrylic Urethane Paint .... well, the competition drops down a lot! Did you know the Professional Bathtub Refinishing Association does not recommend painting a bathtub? Because when you do it is going to peel. That's a fact! It will chip and peel. That is why I use the process outlined by the Professional Bathtub Refinishing Association which involves: All Dallas bathtub pros to follow.

• Etching the old surface to create Microscopic scratches.
• High Quality Silane (there are hundreds and they are not all high quality) Silane was invented by the aerospace industry for aircraft and space equipment. Silane is hand rubbed into the pores created by the etching process and this chemically welds the fluoropolymer coating into the original surface.
• If you want true 20 plus year performance backed by a 2 year warranty that is NOT pro rated and you want a permanent solution to your bathtub and tile problems then please take a minute to see my Dallas bathtub Services prices.

From the point of a customer I can tell you that you will definitely get what you pay for.
I have always tried to offer packages so suite the needs of my customers. Not feeling proud of the fact that I was offering less than my very best product for the discounted prices I offered but competing with those professionals that were merely painting a bathtub or tile to get it ready for the house or apartment to lease or sale. This is why on the low side you will see bathtub refinishing prices around $250 to $300. These tubs refinished at these prices are impossible to correctly refinish. I have learned in my more established years to loose the work. To simply pass on it.

Let me explain what goes into refinishing bathtub and tile the correct way which is often called RESIDENTIAL QUALITY REFINISHING so it is a permanent fix and not just a painted fixture that will start failing sooner than later.
Lets start with the process I use and this process is also outlined on my price list page
I start by using a chemical rinse (undiluted) to wash the surfaces of any oil or soap residue.
During this process I will be wearing a charcoal respirator.
Next using a woven spun fiber disc called an etching stone I apply a mild abrasion which operates at 2600 RPM. This creates microscopic scratches and pores into the old surface.
Next is another washing of the surface with the chemical wash (undiluted) to not only remove the loose dust particles but to remove any oils that would have gotten on the surface through skin contact (oils from the skin will not allow proper bonding) Now it's time to use a molecular bonding agent (undiluted) which cost $335/quart! It is the very best on the market and you can not be afraid to skimp on this part. first application is mopped on so it can be worked in a circular pattern then switched up to left / right and top to botom scrubbing to work this solution deep into the pores and scratches cause by the etching process. At this point The Bathtub or Tile being refinishing would look relatively untouched to the untrained eye. However, in actual cost there is approximately $135.00 in product used so far. Also time wise about one hour has passed and maybe even an hour and a half.  all the time working and wearing the charcoal respirator. Now, is the time to use the dry air heat to dry the molecular bonding agent so there are not any "wet" areas that dilute the finish coating that is about to be applied. 
After everything has dried to a matte finish a small amount of molecular bonding agent is applied to cheese cloth and worked into an area about 8" X 8" the is flash dried but just before the drying process is completed the first coat of flouropolymer coating is laid down on the area. These 8"X8" areas are worked across the entire surface until the entire surface has one coat. This is allowed to air dry so it is drawn into the pores created through etching. I know have a great base to start building on and will lay down 2 more layers of Fluoropolymer coating before air drying the entire surface using the super heated air of the H.V.L.P. applicator. The air passing out of this machine is heated so no moisture can pull through and hit the freshly coated area. At this point I have about $155 to $170.00 of product on the bathtub ... you can easily see how those with the intentions of doing inferior jobs would want to use cheaper paint, Diluted products and still technically call it refinishing. In fact I could stop at this point (which is what the apartment grade work would be and to be honest since the products are used at strength it is still much better than most apartment grade refinishing). However, for Residential Quality this is the point in time that I would flash dry the coatings and using more of the prohesion molecular bonding agent I wipe the entire surface down again. Yes it adds an easy $50 in supply cost but allows the coating to melt giving me a nice smooth base and allowing the last layer to melt into the next layer That is being applied. It is only being built up about 2mm in thickness during this entire process but by crosslinking the coatings I am building a very strong, good looking surface for my customer and coming in with a profit of just under $200 for the standard size bathtub. Through experience I have been able to do this entire process in about (3) hours. This gives my customer a very durable, glossy, smooth surface and makes the fixture look and feel new again for far less than replacement. 972-391-7994
Yes many of the steps could be diluted and corners cut but all that will do is cause trouble and provide an inferior job. Keeping in mind that with residential quality yields permanent solutions when it is completed in a synergistic way that integrates the new surface into the old surface. Restoring the bathtub and tile to a like new finish. Price List

Bathtub refinishing Dallas Prices

You will find that Dallas area Bathtub Refinishing varies based on the overhead cost of each company, The companies ability to do work the correct way and stay in business and the number of employees a company uses. However, in the refinishing industry I am sorry to say the employees are usually day laborers, between job painters or sub contractors at best.
The common sense rule applies here just like any service business. If the cost of the project has to be split between a subcontractor, day laborer or even employee and the owner then the price has to reflect that extra charge. If the company is operating out of a building or office space then that job has to then be split between the owner, the worker, the rent for the building and other expenses of maintaining equipment.
I have been in business since 1992.  I still complete all work myself. I keep my overhead low by driving a 4 cylinder work truck that is paid for. I office out of my home because (why pay rent on an office when #1) I am always working and #2) I can get a partial tax write off with a home office!) I know, I know, when I was younger I had an office, I had a couple of guys working and I had headaches that Tylenol could not take away. My guys vehicle problems were my problem, my guys needing a payday loan was my problem, my guys having a bad day..... yes that too was my problem. Well, with age comes a little wisdom and I soon figured out I could actually charge less, make the same amount of money and eliminate my headaches by simply doing the work myself, eliminating wasted spending, purchasing a 4 cylinder work truck with over 23MPG and purchasing my coatings by the case instead of the gallon!
