Again, it depends; you may or may not:
- Be in an Apartment
- Be in a 5 story walk-up apt.
- Have shower doors
- The tub may have been refinished before
- The surface may need a lot of work due to many factors like lack of cleaning, plumbing leaks, damaged; like chips, scratches, acid drain cleaners, etc.
- All these factors affect the price. And you may want other added services that you may or not know you need, so every job is different, so at least you need a phone consultation to assess your needs and arrive to a fair price quote sent to you by email.
