Bathtub/tile refinishing is a great option for a lot of people.Technology has really improved. New surfaces cure in 2 hour, won't peel or crack, and will realistically provide 5-15 years of service at a price 80-90% less than replacement. It also provides same day service as opposed to 4-5 day service using 3-4 different contractors. No mater your budget, its an option I think people should at least consider.
