| I used Gary Waugh at Waugh refinishing- he's in DC - the total bill for us was $450 or so for the reglazing plus $75 for something else (I forget) - great job - took from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM - brought in an industrial sized fan to minimize the fumes and we couldn't use it for 24 hours after he left at 1pm. He has a good rating on Washington Checkbook which is where I found him. |

| Reglazing is very stinky and often flakes of after a few years. If you replace the tub the tiles would get damaged and you may have a hard time finding matching one's so you may need to replace all the tiles. I would opt for replacement with a stainless steel porcelain tub and get extra tile so that you can just replace a single row or two of tile in the future. |

| We also used miracle method in Kensington, twice in different homes, and are very pleased. Our older home has the heavy tub and we thought the fiberglass option would feel cheap. |

We just kept the original and remodeled around it.

| Reglazing is a pain. We reglazed our clawfoot tub (after concluding that it was way too expensive to replace), and there are all these conditions on maintaining it: no bathmats (!!), no standing water in the tub, no hard bathtoys, etc. They've already been out 2x to do touch-ups and repairs and each time they have a new rule. I joked with DH that we should just not put any water in it, and that should help. |

Curious whom the PP in 2012 used who reglazed the tub and worked on her white tiles.
I had one reglazed but now it's showing a ring again as if paint came off. How to fix and whom? |

| Reglazing is terrible, who cares about a case iron tub |

| We have a 50's bluegreen/black tile shower and tile bathroom walls, so wondering if deglazing tile is any less cumbersome than doing a tub? |
