Has your shower become so disgusting that you no longer want to use it?
Or is it so dated that you feel you are living in a different era? Most people think that the only solution is to tear it out and remodel, but that can easily cost thousands of dollars and take weeks to months to complete. If you are working on a smaller budget and want to use your shower as fast as possible, then refinishing is likely the best solution.
