    The DIY product that the people before me used went to crap in a year and a half... but I planned all along to redo the bath so it's a minor thing. I've heard decent things about the professionally done stuff here.

    Can't tell you what the people here used. I know they scuffed the tub before applying (like you're supposed to), but the product just didn't last .

    I think the last quote I had was around 500 to 600 for a tub, in gloss white. Its been a few years since

    I would not do a recoat unless I was doing a quick flip of a condo or home. Recoats do not last long enough to pay for themselves. There are companies that install a fiberglas shell liner for about $350 but I have not done one.
