Rub a Dub the Tub

The bathtub has been the one remaining dingy piece of the bathroom for quite some time.
With the leftover marks from the old plastic surround, coupled with bits of thinset, grout and who knows what else, I was afraid that refinishing would be a big undertaking.Apparently, I thought it was worse than it really was. It didn't have to be ground down to be refinished, just cleaned and scraped. It already looks a lot cleaner.

But, I'd been told by the company owner that the worker (his son) would be there for six hours and would finish it today. He'd be there when I got home to collect the money and might have to return tomorrow to reinstall the drain. Instead, no one was there when I got home and it had only been cleaned. I called him to find out what was done, when he'd be back, and if I could use the shower since obviously it hadn't gotten any new layers of coating. He was confused about why I'd want to use it--even though I'd told his dad it was the only bathroom--and said no. So now I am two days without a shower instead of just one. Argh.
