Are you thinking about solutions when you look at your old, less-than-glamorous bathtub? You may be weighing your options of replacement or reglazing but need more information before taking the plunge. Reglazing could be the more affordable answer to your problem, depending on your situation.

What Is Reglazing?

Also known as refinishing, bathtub reglazing is a modern process that safely restores older bathroom and kitchen fixtures so they look new. The process begins by removing dirt and debris and repairing any surface damage. Then a technician applies several advanced reglazing layers and a top coat, leaving your bathtub fully restored to its former glory.

What Are the Benefits of Reglazing?

Affordability

This is the number one reason why reglazing is growing in popularity. When you visit your local home improvement center and see what new bathtubs cost, it might be attractive to you too! Reglazing costs just a few hundred dollars, while new bathtubs can cost thousands. Reglazing is the way to go if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly approach.

Quick Solution

Let’s say you have guests arriving in a few days and don’t want them to see your tired old bathtub. Reglazing is a fast, effective way to make your tub look brand new that only takes 1-3 days. On the other hand, having a contractor install a new bathtub can take a couple of weeks, depending on their availability.

Preserving History

If you’re the lucky owner of a beautiful vintage clawfoot tub that needs some TLC, reglazing can work miracles. Our technicians can restore your tub’s original charm and help you enjoy it for many more years.

Cosmetics

If your bathtub is structurally sound and well-made but has scratches and stains that annoy you, it’s not worth replacing something that is functioning just fine. Reglazing can remove stains and chips on the surface and leave it with a smooth, glossy finish.

Longevity

Reglazing, while a terrific, affordable solution, last between 10-15 years with proper care. If you are looking for a more lasting solution for whatever reason, replacement might be the better option.

Summary

There is no cookie-cutter solution for every homeowner. Weigh the pros and cons of reglazing vs. replacement and decide what’s best for your needs. What works for someone else might not work for you.

Bathtub reglazing is a wonderful solution if your tub has only cosmetic defects, has many chips and cracks, or you need a solution fast. If, however, your tub has structural problems or the surround is rotted, a bathroom demo and a new tub may be best.
