Choose a bathtub refinisher by looking at their prep, real job photos, insurance and written warranty. The cheapest quote doesn't tell you how well the finish will stick.
Ask a reglazing contractor what's included in the prep and repairs, what coating they use and how they control fumes. Get the cure time, insurance details and warranty in writing.
Does the quote include stripping peeling finish and new caulk? What happens if they find a leak or flexing floor? Those answers matter before anyone sprays.
DIY bathtub kits can be a cheaper cosmetic fix, but they typically last 2 to 5 years compared with 10 to 15 years for professional reglazing with good care. Prep and ventilation still matter with a kit.
A kit won't fix leaks, structural cracks or a soft floor. If it peels, removing it adds work before a professional refinish.
Georgia generally requires a residential contractor license for covered residential jobs over $2,500. Specialty exemptions and the job's scope can change that requirement.
Check the applicable credentials with the Georgia licensing board. Don't go by the price alone, and ask for proof of liability insurance too.

A bathtub reglazing warranty should say how long it lasts, what it covers, what care is required and how to ask for a repair. Get it in writing before booking.
