Can anyone make a recommendation on someone to restore this old “ribbon bottom” tub we bought?
Same as a clawfoot, essentially.

  1. Al & Dave & Sons re Glazing. I have used them for 20 years now.

    718.761.5800 reglazed tubs for me at 1 Pierrepont Street & In many homes in the heights & Park SLope 10 year warranty any Kohler color matched. Very reasonable

  2. 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.

    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!
