    So Mom’s shower is as old as I am and unfortunately it is not keeping its youthful charm like I have. 😛

    But seriously, I am not looking forward to re-doing the tile in her shower due to cost. I know in the last couple of years tile coating has become more popular as an alternative to tear out and I am wondering if any of you Piggs out there have used a ceramic tile coating in your property or rental.

    I am still doing the research on this but would love to hear your inputs, in parallel, if you have used this service.

    For those who are wondering what I am talking about take a look at this link.

    My Mom’s place is in Vegas so a local contact will not help.

    Thank guys as always,

    I can only speak about what my sibling went though. She use to live in a 1 bedroom in Pacific Heights… I recall the bathtub was cracking and pealing, and one of a company was hired to resurface the tub and coat it. It looked great for the first two years, but about after the third, it started flaking/pealing from where the drain fixture was… I don’t know if this was just a bad job from the person that did it, or if they just don’t last as long.just seemed to be at places of joints/etc, it would be difficult to prevent things from separating…

    Having just had my bath gutted and remodeled, in large part do to a crap refinishing job in the tub and shower by the previous owner sometime in the past I can honestly say I don’t recommend it. The epoxy, or whatever the hell it was that they sprayed all over the tile and tub had started flaking and was seriously disintegrating at the tub drain. It was god awful.

    It’s all I can do to stop from punching in the face those idiots trying to hawk this crappy service in Home Depot.

    I think the problem is that around drains and fixtures, they don’t remove them when they do the coating. And so,as a result, I don’t think the coating will last around the drain/fixtures, and usually they start pealing from there…At least that’s what I observed….If I recall, the resurfacing isn’t that cheap either.
