If you’re looking into having your bathtub refinished or reglazed, you might be wondering if the process is really worth it. After all, the cost of a new bathtub in the store is relatively low. You might be concerned about the appearance of a refinished tub or concerned about how long the new finish might last—you don’t want to reglaze the tub and have a new project next year.
You might be considering a DIY kit to save some money, or might be unsure about what the process of reglazing involves—will it be a long process with hazardous chemicals? Will it let you change the color of your tub?
Before you make any decisions, we’re here to address some common concerns and to share our bathtub refinishing before and after photos, to let you decide for yourself!
Is bathtub refinishing worth it?
We think so, yes! While new tubs might have low sticker prices, they can be an expensive hassle to install. Between removing the old tub, redoing any plumbing, and making changes to the walls, grout, and caulk, there are less expensive and time-consuming ways to update the look and feel of your tub.
Another possibility that some people consider are DIY kits. While these might seem like a good option, they can land you with an unprofessional result—you might see brush marks, drips, or splotches. You also have to be confident in your ability to properly ventilate the bathroom while working with chemicals, and willing to give up your bathroom for a few days, to let the DIY materials dry.
Refinishing or reglazing means that we strip the existing finish and apply a new, high-gloss coating to the existing tub. Any damage is repaired, and you can choose a color from our available options. This saves you the hassle of getting a new tub, but gets you the results that a DIY kit can’t deliver. You can fix any issues and change up an outdated color, and still get a tub that looks and feels like new, with a process that only takes 3 – 4 hours. Check out these before and after photos to see the results of our other projects.
How Long Does Bathtub Reglazing Last?
How long those great results will last might be one of the deciding factors between renovation and reglazing for your project. The great news is that with proper care—like using the right cleaning products and avoiding bathmats that keep the area constantly wet—a bathtub reglazing could last up to 20 years, as long as a new tub.
Our written warranty guarantees that problems after the installation will be fixed, so you don’t have to deal with cracking or chipping anytime soon, and our other options—like installing a non-slip surface—make it easier to keep your tub looking great longer.
