I need someone to resurface my bathtub and replace the tub border around the faucets and the seal strip around the tub as well. This is just a tub and not a shower/tub combo and only 1 person can work in there due to the size. I do not need a total bathroom remodeling just the resurfacing, border replacement, and the seal strip. This is an older home. The border is about the size of a medium box. I do not have any materials. This is a ready to hire position. If you need pictures, please request them. Call, text, or email me if you can help me. Please leave a message on my answering machine and I will get back to you within 2 days. I am looking for someone that knows about home repairs. I don't need a shower/tub conversion, only the 3 areas mentioned above. The tub was resurfaced about 9 years ago. The tub is chipping and cracking. If you can just fix the border and seal strip, but not the tub, that will work too.

The medium size border around my tub faucets need replaced. The border just screws off and does not go up a huge wall like most newer houses. This is an old home with only a tub. The seal strip around the tub needs replaced as well. It is rusty and dirty. There are no leaks or anything. My neighbor used to change my border every 10 years, but is no longer here and I need a replacement. A power drill and some other tools would work. The border would need holes placed in it to fit around the tub faucets. I do not have any materials, but would like the professional to buy. I've had plumbers and handyman call, but no luck! I do not need a surround, only the border replaced and the strip. If the job doesn't sound like much, we can work on a price for you for your time. This is not a bathroom remodeling project, just 2 small fixtures. It is better to come see it in person rather than, me you send you pictures. The pictures scare people, but in person, it is easy. I just don't have the materials. My neighbor did it in less than 1 hour. Bought the materials, placed the holes in the border, and put the border in. The seal strip can be "Adhesive." However, the seal strip was made of wood and was bolted. Nothing has to be identical as the current look. If you can help, please get in touch. We can work on a price for your time because this is like an emergency. I have someone waiting to resurface the tub but can't, because the border and strip I want replaced. Please leave your name and number, text, or email me. Or if you want send me a request to quote my project. Once again, I do not have any materials or machinery. I will get back to you within 2 days. Only 1 person can work in the bathroom, due to the size. When you call, let me know you are calling about the tub border and strip. People call, and don't know the project and ask for pictures and then, can't do the work.

I need someone to replace my border around my tub faucets and the seal strip as well. The border is about the size of a medium box and screws off or the square piece within the border frame may be pulled out, and then, the new border probably can be hammered back in place. This is just a tub and not a shower/tub combo. The seal strip is made of wood and not "Adhesive" like most tubs. Everything needs measure and bought, because I do not know what to buy. The tub needs resurfaced as well. It was resurfaced about 9 years ago. The tub is chipping and cracking. The border and the strip though needs replaced first, so if you can just fix those 2 areas, that will be a start. This is a small bathroom and only 1 person can fit in there. I do not need a full bathroom remodeling, just the border, seal strip, and resurfacing. This is a ready to hire job with pay. Would like this done ASAP. Companies have concerns about the "Caulking" and then disappear. I got the money as long as it is reasonable. If interested. please call, text, email me or send me a request to quote my project. Please, if you get my answering machine kindly leave a message. It is best to see the project in person, rather than me send pictures. The pictures appear to scare people, but the project is actually easy. My handyman retired. Thank You!
