Refinishing a bathtub is one of the best ways to give your bathroom a cost effective makeover that will save you thousands of dollars by avoiding the costly fees associated with replacement. Replacing a bathtub can take days or even weeks and can cost $2,500 or more. By refinishing a bathtub you can save up to 70% versus the cost of replacement and have your tub looking like new again.
The bathtub refinishing process is quite simple. First, the refinisher removes all traces of contaminants by thoroughly cleaning the tub surface. Second, the refinisher will make any necessary repairs. Third, the refinisher will apply a bonding agent which will ensure a solid bond between the old surface and the new finish. Finally, a urethane finish is applied using an HVLP sprayer.
When bathtub reglazing is done by a professional and done properly, you can extend the life of your bathtub for 10 - 15 years or more. Professional bathtub refinishers also offer tile refinishing, countertop refinishing, kitchen cabinet refinishing, fiberglass refinishing, and some can offer bathtub anti-slip treatments.
