Why should I repair rather than replace?

Most units can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of replacement. The Tub Doctor, Inc. will have your bathroom done in a day with no mess, whether we are refinishing an entire unit or repairing cracks and chips.

I am remodeling my bathroom, should I have my bathtub refinished first?

No. The Tub Doctor, Inc. recommends that all construction, tile work, painting and plumbing be complete before your bathtub is refinished. This will assure that no damage is done to the new finish due to construction mishaps.

Should I remove the shower doors?

If you are getting rid of your old doors to replace with new, or switch to a shower curtain, than yes. This way, any damage from the old door can be repaired and the finish will cover the entire bathtub. If you are keeping your old doors, then only the doors should be removed and the tracks remain in place. The tracks will be masked off to protect them.
