Hello AT,
The built-in bathtub in our recently purchased apartment's bathroom is... let's just say, "less than new." Like most tubs installed in the 50's, it's seen better days, color- and stain-wise.
Dose anyone have good suggestions for either (a) "do it yourself" tub refinishing (including good stain removal products), or (b) for-hire tub re-glazing or refinishing services in NYC?
I'd be delighted with any responses! Thanks, Gabriel

Dear Gabriel,
We have answered this question before, but it is a good one. Here is the thread from March 2005:

Do not use Metro Refinishing. I just reglazed my tub with them a few months ago. It started to peel almost immediately and when I called them, they hung up on me. Awful experience.
