2-3 week is ok.
if you need medium grade work you are looking around the $20-25K

Two to three weeks?

That's adorable.

Try to to three MONTHS.

NYCMatt

She/He is just looking for white paint and refinishing almost new floor.

And re-grouting and re-glazing.

Each one of those alone would be 2-3 weeks.

Matt,

Regrouting could only take two days it depends on what kind of tile and size of grout joints.

Premier,

I know this.

And redoing the floors *should* only take a couple of days.

And painting *should* only take a couple of days.

ALL these tasks *should* only take a matter of days.

And yet, when you want multiple things done in an apartment in NYC, it's amazing how easily your contractor(s) get sidetracked ... issues come up ... blah blah blah ... and two months later your place is still torn up and you're fighting with contractors on getting the jobs finished.

I've seen simple painting projects alone take as long as three weeks.

Just getting a bathtub reglazed can take a month.

I've seen a tiny kitchen renovation and entry floor refinishing project take EIGHT MONTHS.

Matt,

All good points, things do happen. There are so many reasons for delays:

Manufacturer sends wrong items purchased
Client is undecided about finishes
Plumber, floor guy, millshop have emergencies

Thats why I usually tell clients that a project should take two week but will take a month. The project the op is talking about will not take 3 months. It is straight forward and should take 2-3 weeks

let me guess, this work should only cost about 20k, right?

Matt

here is the one review from google

How long does it take to reglaze or refinish a bathtub?

Depending upon conditions, the average time spent refinishing a bath tub is between 2 and 4 hours.

here is another one

A bathtub can be reglazed right in your bathroom without disturbing the existing tiles, fixtures, or plumbing. The process takes about three to four hours and is ready to use after 24 hours.

Q. How long does it take?
A. We come in the morning and complete the process in the same day. A typical tub using some of the highest standards in the industry is often completed within 8 hours and always in the same day.

OK.

So will Google step in when the glazing contractor takes 2 weeks just to put me on the schedule ... then another two weeks after he stops halfway through the process when he finds out my tub is made of some sort of exotic iron casting that his glazing will not adhere to ... yadda yadda yadda?

Yes, I know how long the work *should* take.

It should also have taken no more than five days for my friend's kitchen renovation. And yet it took eight months.

What does Google say about that?

I googled your statement.

I believe and I respect.
I hope next time everything will be better and smooth.

Gcondo,

You are right it is close to 20K give or take a couple of thousand, it depends on several things like water popping and what kind of tiles. Reglazing a tub is a one day job. It costs anywhere from $300-500

Haha, so funny. Congrats to you.

"Reglazing a tub is a one day job."

Theoretically.

Allow one week.

It might take a week as far as schedule but once the reglazer comes to the apartment it takes a day, it has never taken more.

We did exactly those same things when we moved in, but our unit is only 1200 sf and this was 10 yrs ago. The painting took 8 days, including minor wall repairs ($5k). The regrouting floor to ceiling tile and glazing tub was done in one day ($1k). The sanding and refinishing floors took 3 to 5 days ($1.5k). 2 wks total.

"It might take a week as far as schedule but once the reglazer comes to the apartment it takes a day, it has never taken more."

It took MY reglazer three days.

NYCMATT,

Even the tubs that ar win very bad condition should not take more then a day. Do you know why yours took so long?

Mstt's tub is made of Magic Grits.

"Even the tubs that ar win very bad condition should not take more then a day. Do you know why yours took so long?"

No.

Something to do with my tub being made out of some material that doesn't "glaze" properly the regular way.

There are some tubs that should not be Reglazer at all but that is a different story. If your tub is made out of acrylic you would not regalze it. However there are few people that can repair such tubs but it is far different then reglazing. Usually that also only takes one day.

Matt just wants to extrapolate from his one experience (and his "friend's") to make an inaccurate global statement and he won't be deterred. Nothing new here.

No.

I just don't like blanket statements.

There are a million variables in this city.

I agree with Midtown. Matt is just argumentative and condescending. Again, nothing new here.
