recommend someone to reglaze my clawfoot tub
Can anyone make a recommendation on someone to restore this old "ribbon bottom" tub we bought?
Same as a clawfoot, essentially.
Comments
I'm doing the same thing right now (although I don't know what ribbon bottom is, so ask them if they can handle that).
I looked at Malga Sales and the Bathtub Doctor.
Malga Sales was recommended by the real estate agent that sold me the apartment. Bathtub Dr. I found off Angie's List.
Both offered to remove paint inside the tub, fix cracks and add primer. Malga does 3 coats of top layer, Bathtub Dr. two coats of top layer. Malga was a 3-year guarantee. Bathtub Dr. a five. Bathtub Dr. got a "B" on Angie's List. Malga was 450, Bathtub doctor was 525. Malga was recommended, and was cheaper.
Malga Sales 718.258.8520.
BATHTUB DOCTOR INC: (516) 931-8311
I've also heard that having a fiberglass liner is a great way to go, but I couldn't find anyone in the city that does it.
Good luck!
