Is $400 to refinish a bathtub a fair price?
Project Details
I paid $400 CAD for bathtub refinishing. The first attempt resulted in debris and globs of product, so the company agreed to redo it. They re-sanded and re-applied the product, but the result is basically the same. I don't think this is an acceptable job by professionals and I'm planning to ask for at least a partial refund, as I don't want them in my house again. I believe they used Cloverdale acrylic urethane, which I suspect might not be a bathtub-specific product.
