3. Common Problems, Signs & Symptoms
If you're seeing any of these, it's probably time to call.
Cracks or chips in the tub surface
Cracks let water reach the substrate and cause hidden rot. Refinishing only buys time.
Tub is leaking at the drain or overflow
Drain leaks usually mean the gasket has failed. Sometimes a repair, sometimes a full replacement is the smarter move.
Refinished tub is peeling
Once refinishing fails, it can't be redone successfully. Replacement is the long-term fix.
Wobbles or flexes when you stand in it
A flexing tub wasn't set in mortar correctly. Eventually, it cracks and starts leaking.
