If you are searching for a replacement for your bathtub, you may be interested in learning about a different option. Did you know that nowadays you can simply reglaze the old tub and make it look like brand new? While there are some DIY options on the market, you are advised to hire a company for the job. We will explain why in a bit. The truth is that most people still think that replacing the tub is the only viable option. In this blog post, we will show you that this is no longer the case. Learn more about the benefits of tub resurfacing and see why our experts are exactly what you need if you want to save money.
Is Tub Replacement Your Only Option?
So, is tub replacement your only option? While many bathtub and Jacuzzi manufacturers will try to convince you that it is, this is far from being the truth. You can simply reglaze the tub and make it look like new. You may be worried that the new coating won’t pass the test of time. Or maybe you think that the refinished tub will discolor. If the reglazing has been done by an expert and if the agents he used are professional, you don’t have to worry about peeling or discoloration. And no, you don’t have to worry about harmful chemicals either.
Reglazing your bathtub is much cheaper than resurfacing it. A typical reglazing job costs between $300 and $600. You may be able to buy a new tub for around $200, if you are not looking for a quality fixture. So, how is reglazing going to save you money in this case? Did you consider all the additional costs of replacing the tub? Labor expenses often set homeowners back over $1,500. We are talking about construction work in most cases, so you will also have to deal with all the mess this can cause. Refinishing the tub, on the other hand, doesn’t generate any debris. At most, we will remove the old grouting and regrout the hot tub afterwards.
What If You Want to Change the Color of the Tub?
But what if you want to change the color of the tub? Perhaps you’ve replaced all the wall and floor tiles and the old tub color doesn’t work for you anymore. No problem; our experts can change the color of your fixture during the resurfacing process. You just pick one of the colors in our palette and we will take care of everything for you.
And did you know that our contractors can reglaze other fixtures (sink, Jacuzzi, shower stall, etc.) for you? Or that we can resurface wall and floor tiles? Truth be told, our team can completely change the look and feel of your bathroom in no time and without doing any demolition work.

Can You Do It Yourself?
The last thing we want to talk about is the DIY trend. While there are many things you can certainly do yourself around the house, reglazing a tub is not one of them. First, DIY resurfacing kits are nowhere near as effective as our professional solutions. The coating will just peek off in a couple of months. Second, the etching, bonding and coating agents that are used during the refinishing process are dangerous. You need to know what you’re doing to handle them safely. And third, a DIY kit doesn’t cost much less than a reglazing procedure performed by a skilled contractor. It simply makes no sense to try to do this procedure yourself.
