The best way to receive an accurate quote custom tailored to your needs is to call our Office at (773) 202-0603 Monday through Friday 9:00am – 5:00pm. Some companies will offer to provide a “Free” On-Site Estimate but, nothing in life is Free. Ugly Tub?, Inc. has 20 years of experience providing Chicagoland’s bathtub resurfacing needs, we have learned from experience that by asking a series of questions over the phone we can provide an accurate quote and cut costs associated with having a high pressure salesman come out to your home and pass the savings on to our customers.

To make things easier before you call please review our Getting Started page which outlines in detail the types of questions you will be asked and the order in which to address any items on your bathroom remodeling punch list. We will need to know if it is a Standard Tub, or Clawfoot Tub, as they are different and we may be able to provide cost saving professional advice if you are restoring a clawfoot tub. If your bathtub has been previously painted or refinished it will require Stripping to remove the old paint and ensure a good bond with the original surface. If you have any Plumbing Issues like drippy faucets or slow drains, you will want to address those first. You will also want to have any tiling, grouting, painting, plastering, plumbing or any other work over or around the surface to be refinished completed first. Murphy’s Law, if something can go wrong, it will. This avoids other contractors damaging the refinished surface. If you have Shower Doors, those will need to be addressed and we can offer cost saving options for DIY’ers. Older tubs may have Chemical Damage, or excess wear at the drain requiring Bondo Repair. Think of bathtub resurfacing like painting a car. Chips in the finish like dents in a fender will show if not repaired prior to refinishing. Bare metal or rust at the drain, just like rust spots around a fender can be painted over but will rust back through if not repaired before refinishing. We can provide these optional services if applicable.

Hi-Rise Condominiums have additional requirements that must be met, these include Negative Pressure Procedures that must be adhered to in newer buildings with central air conditioning. Site specific Certificates of Insurance must be provided along with a Scope of Work, and freight elevators will need to be reserved. Please be prepared to provide contact information for your Property Manager so that we can coordinate with them. Additional fees may apply.

As you can see, there are numerous details to be addressed in order to tailor our services to your needs and provide pricing, far too many to address in an e-mail. Be prepared to spend 5-10 minutes on the phone with one of our representatives, so that we can be thorough, and provide an expert, accurate quote.

We can refinish any porcelain, ceramic, acrylic or fiberglass surface from any color to any color. Just ask! Stock colors are Bright White, Biscuit, Bone, Almond and Black, light tints can be Colormatched in Pastel Colors on site for an additional fee. Deep Tones can be custom ordered from the manufacturer for a fee using Sherwin-Williams paint codes (non-refundable deposit required for custom order colors).

We do not recommend refinishing Jetted Tubs or Hot Tubs as all of the jets, intakes, and controls must be removed to perform the work and also create seams around them which will be prone to fail prematurely. There are other bathtub refinishing companies that will refinish these types of tubs but, we will not warrant jetted tubs and prefer to only perform work that we can stand behind our 5 Year Warranty on, most will last 10-15 years with proper care! And, as one of Chicago’s longest standing tub refinishing companies, we are literally hearing back from customers after 15-16 years!
