If your tub is chipped, stained, cracked, or just worn down and old, you may be contemplating restoring it. Tub refinishing service can transform your tub to look brand new once again without having to replace the entire tub. One of the nice things about having your tub refinished is that it is cost-effective and can save you money on your bathroom update. To help you make an informed decision, we will review some of the different factors that affect the pricing of your project and other things for you to keep in mind. 

Direct Cost Factors 

There is no one price for tub reglazing because there are many factors that affect the price that you pay. However, there are estimates that you can use to get an idea of what you may pay. For example, tub reglazing can cost as little as $300 or as much as $700 or more. The average cost paid by homeowners is about $450. 

When compared to the cost of tub replacement, you will save thousands of dollars. The average cost to have a bathtub replaced runs about $3,500. 

Another cost factor to think about is the labor involved in the process. Reglazing your tub is less labor intensive than say having the entire tub replaced. You will pay the cost of labor and depending on how long the actual removal takes, you can pay a good chunk of change towards it. Refinishing your bathtub is estimated to cost about 20 percent less than replacement. 

Restoration Factors to Consider 

Reglazing your tub will make it look and feel brand new again. However, for this to be possible, your tub needs to be in a condition where it can be restored. If your tub is a color you do not like such as pink, olive, yellow, green, or blue, restoration can change that color. 

The entire reglazing process takes a few hours whereas replacing your tub will take substantially longer than that. 

Convenience Factors to Consider 

While you have considered the financial and restoration factors, next, think about the convenience factors. They say time is money and your time is valuable. If you are a busy person or you are someone who does not want to spend a bunch of time on a project, then reglazing can meet your needs. A tub replacement can take weeks to complete whereas reglazing takes only 24 to 48 hours, which includes the dry time of the glaze.

Let’s face it: most people are forced to replace their bathtub after a few years. Most of the time, this is due to rust and grime that simply can’t be removed using traditional methods. In some cases, people want to change the look of their bathroom and the color of the old tub doesn’t fit in. Whatever the reason, replacing a bathtub is an extremely costly endeavor. You should avoid it at all costs. But what can you do if your tub has white splotches or yellow spots all over it? How can you get rid of all the rust and grime? Well, the good news is that you now have an option: re-enameling. Re-enameling is basically a different term for reglazing, refinishing or resurfacing. By reglazing the old tub, you can bring it back to its former glory without having to spend thousands of dollars in the process. And the end result will be breathtaking. Take a look at this tub, for instance:

 

Struggling With a Rusty Tub?

It goes without saying that you simply can’t have a modern, good-looking bathroom when you have a bathtub like the one you see above. The first thing that probably comes to your mind is replacing the old tub. While this is definitely an option, it is not the cheapest or the most convenient. You will have to pay a ton of money for waste removal and for plumbing work – on top of the cost of the new tub. Also, you will need to go through the hassle of doing construction work in your home.

Simply by re-enameling (or resurfacing) the old bathtub, you can achieve the same result. Reglazing is the process during which the entire surface of your tub is re-enameled. The old layer of coating is removed, along with all the rust and grime and a new layer is applied. The end result is a tub that looks and feels just like a brand new one. So, why would you want to replace the old tub? The cost of refinishing your old tub is much lower than replacing it.

 

Re-enameling and Its Benefits

There are many benefits when it comes to re-enameling your old bathtub. Here are the most important ones, in our opinion:

• You can save a lot of money simply by choosing to reglaze the old tub instead of replacing it.
• You avoid doing messy construction work in your home (and having to deal with all the resulting dust and debris)
• You protect de environment by not sending the old tub to the landfill.
• You will be able to continue using the bathtub for another 8 years at least.
• You can even change the color of the tub, if you are planning to completely change the look of your bathroom.

Reglazing a bathtub really is the best option at the time of writing this blog post. Many people ask us if the glaze is strong enough to withstand years of wear and tear. Truth be told, the new glaze is sometimes better and stronger than the old one. We can assure you that you will be able to use your tub for many years to come. Our experts use professional-grade solutions and products, so the end result is always exceptionally strong. Also, the new glaze will feel just like the old one. Nobody will be able to tell the difference between your tub and a new one.

Remember the old, rusty tub you’ve seen above? Here is the same tub after our professionals have worked their magic on it:

 

A Word on DIY Kits

As you can see from the photo above (which is taken by our experts, by the way), the tub looks like new. The masking paper surrounding the tub will be removed, of course.

A professional reglazing solution is what you need if you want to make sure your bathtub will look gorgeous (and withstand years of wear and tear). So what are you waiting for?

Reglazing a bathtub is quickly becoming the preferred way to breathe new life into the old fixture. Did you know that during the refinishing process, our experts even repair the cracks, chips and dents on your tub? Or that we always remove all the rust before refinishing the tub? Truth be told, refinishing a tub is a cost-effective way to keep your fixture in perfect condition for a long time – and without spending a small fortune.

But how do you take care of a reglazed bath tub? How do you clean it? What solutions should you use and which ones should you avoid? In this blog post, we will discuss the proper way to take care of a resurfaced tub. We will also tell you what not to do, of course. Read on!

 

What Does Reglazing Mean?

To understand the cleaning advice in the next part of the blog post, we should explain the reglazing process. Many homeowners don’t know what’s involved and how the refinishing is done, so they don’t understand why some cleaning solutions are better than others at cleaning a resurfaced tub. Here is how our experts reglaze a tub:

1. First, everything surrounding the fixture is covered. We don’t want the chemicals or the coating to touch other surfaces (including the wall and floor tiles).
2. The entire surface of the tub is sanded down. Alternatively, we may use etching chemicals to achieve the desired result. This depends on the type of bathtub we are dealing with.
3. If there are dents, cracks or chips on the surface of the tub, our expert will repair them.
4. If there is rust present, we will remove it entirely before proceeding to the next step.
5. A layer of primer is applied to the surface of the tub and left to cure for a bit. This layer will ensure a strong bond between the coating and the tub. In other words, the coating will not peel off in one or two years.
6. A layer of coating is applied evenly over the surface of the tub. If necessary, we can apply a second layer. Once these layers cure, they resemble enamel. In other words, the bathtub will look and feel just like a brand new one.

 

What NOT to Do to a Refinished Bathtub

Now that you understand the bathtub resurfacing process, it’s time to tell you what you should NEVER do to a refinished fixture. Most importantly, you should never attempt to use any cleaning solutions on the tub for at least 7 days. If you need to clean the tub, use soap and a soft sponge. During the curing period, the layer of coating can get scratched and nicked quite easily.

After the curing period if over (depending on the solutions used), you should never use any kind of abrasives. This includes cleaners that contain ammonia or bleach. Also, keep away from powdered cleansers like Comet. Use soft sponges that are not abrasive.

Also, you should never steam clean your refinished bathtub or power wash it. Steam cleaning and power washing may void the warranty of the reglazing job.

 

Properly Taking Care of the Tub

To properly take care of the refinished bathtub, you should use cleaning solutions such as Lysol Basin Tub or Tile Cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles, or Formula 409. While there are many other cleaning solutions that can do the trick, most reglazing companies recommend these three.

If you don’t have any of the cleaning solutions listed above, you can safely use liquid dish soap and a sponge to get the job done. To be more effective at cleaning the tub, you should apply the cleaner on the entire surface of the tub and let it sit for around 5 minutes. Scrub the surface with a cellulose sponge or a microfiber cloth and then rinse.

If you need more information or advice on how to take care of a newly-reglazed bathtub, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. The advice above also applies to other refinished fixtures, such as shower stalls, Jacuzzis, sinks, toilets, and urinals. When you need to reglaze bathtub NYC, we are your best option.

You may have heard about shower stall reglazing companies, but you probably don’t know exactly what they do. Up until recently, most homeowners were forced to replace their shower stalls after a few years. After all, you simply can’t prevent normal wear and tear. Instead of having to deal with an unsightly stall, most people simply try to replace it.

But did you know that there is another, cheaper, way to make your shower stall look like brand new? We are, of course, talking about the reglazing process. In this blog post, we will explain what a shower stall refinishing is and what you can expect from such a procedure. Also, we will talk about DIY reglazing.

 

What Is Shower Stall Reglazing?

Let’s start with the beginning. What is shower stall reglazing? Reglazing is a procedure during which the coating of the fixture is removed entirely and a new coating is applied. This means that you can refinish almost any fixture you can think of, not just the shower stall. Yes, you can reglaze sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and even Jacuzzis. And did you know that our experts can ever resurface wall tiles and floor tiles?

You are probably wondering how reglazing helps you, the homeowner. First, refinishing a shower stall is much cheaper than replacing it. Remember, you also have to pay for labor and even plumbing work if you choose to replace the fixture. Second, reglazing is eco-friendly because you no longer have to send the fixture (and all the debris resulting from the replacement process) to the landfill. And third, our experts can get your shower stall resurfaced in just one day. No construction work is involved, so you don’t even have to worry about the mess.

 

What to Expect After the Refinishing Procedure

Moreover, our experts always cover all the other fixtures to make sure they are not touched by the reglazing solutions and chemicals.

 

Can You Do It Yourself?

This is one of the questions we receive most often via email. Can you do a reglazing procedure all by yourself? While it is true that there are many DIY refinishing kits on the market, they are not professional solutions. They simply won’t stand the test of time, so the glaze will start to change its color and even peel off in one or two years.

Can You Change the Color of the Shower Stall?

Finally, we want to answer another very interesting question we keep getting. Can you change the color of the shower stall? Yes, we can do it. In fact, you can choose from a wide array of colors. Our expert will add the necessary dyes in the coating before applying it. Yes, we can also change the color of the other fixtures in your bathroom (as well as the wall and floor tiles).

Resurfacing a cast iron tub is probably not something you’ve given much thought to so far. However, did you know that resurfacing (also known as reglazing, refinishing and recoating) is a cheaper alternative to replacing the tub? There are also several other benefits that we will be discussing in this blog post.

We will explain to you the resurfacing process and all its benefits. Also, you will learn about the dangers posed by DIY kits. After reading this blog post to the end, you should be able to make an informed decision whether to resurface your cast iron tub or replace it. The article is purely informative, but we do advise you to get in touch with us if you have any questions or if you want to get a free quote.

 

The Reglazing Process

Let’s start by talking about the cast iron tub reglazing process. What is it? Well, a reglazing is the process during which the coating of your tub (the enamel) is completely removed and replaced with one or two layers of coating. This gives your bathtub a brand new look, of course. But there are many other benefits as well. Here are the basic steps of a correct tub resurfacing service:

1. The first thing our expert will do when he starts the reglazing process is cover everything around the cast iron tub. This includes the wall and floor tiles and all the other fixtures. We don’t want the chemicals to tough anything else, do we?
2. The surface of the cast iron tub (the enamel) is removed with chemicals or sanded down. Don’t worry, the cast iron won’t be damaged during the process.
3. Our expert will repair any cracks, chips or dents. After all, we want to make sure your bathtub looks like brand new.
4. If there are signs of rust, our technicians will eliminate them. This will prevent rust from damaging your cast iron tub in the future.
5. A layer of primer is applied evenly over the surface of the tub. This will ensure a strong bond between the coating and the tub.
6. One or two layers of coating are evenly applied over the primer. The coating is then left to cure.

That’s it. You must make sure nobody uses the cast iron tub for at least 48 hours after the refinishing process. The coating needs to cure properly. Also, we advise you to refrain from using any cleaning solutions on the tub for up to 7 days.

 

Benefits of Resurfacing Your Tub

Many homeowners don’t know all the benefits of a resurfacing process. The first thing that comes to mind when you see an old, rusty cast iron tub is replacement. However, we can assure you that reglazing is a better option. Here is why:

• Refinishing a tub is often a lot cheaper than replacing it. It also involves a lot less effort because you don’t have to remove the heavy fixture.
• Reglazing does not involve construction work, so you don’t have to pay for waste removal – or worry about the dust or debris.
• Sending the old tub to the landfill is definitely not an eco-friendly action. Reglazing it and using it for another 7 or 8 years is, on the other hand.
• Resurfacing a cast iron tub takes just a couple of hours. Replacing it can take days.

 

The Dangers of DIY

Now that you know why reglazing is quickly becoming the preferred method for homeowner looking to breathe new life into their fixtures, tiles and even cabinets, you are probably wondering if you can do it yourself. While it is true that you could, we strongly advise against it.

The chemicals used during the resurfacing process are dangerous. Remember that your bathroom is probably a small, poorly ventilated space. This makes the process even more dangerous. Our experts are all certified and insured. They use breather masks and protective clothing to work safely. In addition, they will stop anyone from entering the bathroom while the reglazing procedure takes place, keeping your loved ones safe. Bottom line, you should hire an experienced reglazing professional if you want the job to be done correctly – 100% safe.

 

 

 

Not everyone knows the problems that rust, limescale and grime can cause – especially when we are talking about a bathtub. In this blog post, we will shed some light into the many problems that nobody wants in their bathroom. We know what you’re going to say: I’m not worried, I can always replace the tub with a brand new one. While this may be true, you should be aware that there is a more elegant solution; one that does not require any kind of construction work. It’s a also a lot cheaper than replacing the bathtub. Read on and find out how you can remove all the rust, grime and limescale from your tub in just a couple of hours with 0 effort.

 

Problems Caused by Rust, Grime and Limescale

We all know what rust is, or at the very least how it looks like. When it comes to a cast iron tub, rust can be devastating. Why? Because as soon as it starts to eat away at the iron, it’s very difficult to stop. Your bathtub will have a hole in it in no time if you don’t take immediate action to remove the rust. But why does rust appear on tubs in the first place? The main reason why rust can appear on a tub is a damaged glaze. Chips and cracks in the glaze allow water to make contact with the cast iron. Rust will appear almost immediately.

Grime is basically dirt that has managed to become ingrained on the surface of your bathtub. It is almost impossible to fully remove. It also makes your tub look horrible. Dues to this grime, your tub may look brownish or yellowish. It’s definitely not something you want.

When it comes to limescale, we all know that it is a hard chalky deposit. It has the tendency to adhere to the surface of bathtubs and is extremely difficult to remove. While it is not harmful (it consists of calcium carbonate), it is definitely unpleasant to the touch.

 

Best Way to Solve the Problem

If you are in one of the situations above, you probably want to get rid of the rust, grime or limescale as soon as possible. You surely want your bathroom to look its best, especially if you are expecting guests. Even though you may think about replacing the rub, we have a better option: reglazing. Reglazing, also known as refinishing or resurfacing, is the process of removing the old coating and replacing it with a new layer of glaze that looks and feels just like the original one. Don’t worry, our professional solutions ensure a glaze that is just as strong and shiny as the original.

 

How Does Reglazing Work?

So, what do we do to your bathtub during the reglazing process? Here are the basic steps our experts take to refinish a bathtub:

1. Our expert covers all the fixtures and the area surrounding the tub to make sure the solutions don’t touch anything else.
2. The surface of the tub is sanded down or etched using very specific chemicals
3. All the rust is removed. The grime and limescale are removed along with the old coating.
4. Our expert repairs all the chips, dents and cracks. We want the end result to be exceptional.
5. A layer of primer is applied on the entire surface of the tub. This will help the coating layer to adhere perfectly to the surface.
6. One or even two layers of coating are applied evenly – with great care – over the entire surface of the tub.
7. The tub is left to cure for 7 to 10 days. You must not use it during this time to avoid damaging the new coating.

That’s it! After the coating cures, it forms a shiny glaze just as strong as the original one. In fact, only a resurfacing expert should be able to figure out that your tub has been reglazed. The process prolongs the life of your bathtub by around 10 years. For more information, don’t hesitate to contact our NYC tub reglazing service.

My Jacuzzi looks horrible! Help! Don’t worry about it too much; our experts are ready to help you bring your expensive Jacuzzi back to life. No, we are not talking about replacing it with a new one. We are talking about reglazing the fixture. Reglazing, also known as refinishing or resurfacing, is a complex process that will make your Jacuzzi look like new in just a couple of hours. And best of all, the price of the reglazing procedure is a lot lower than the cost of replacing the Jacuzzi.

 

Jacuzzi Coating Problems

First, let’s talk a bit about the various problems you may be experiencing with your Jacuzzi. When it comes to the coating (the glaze or the enamel), many things can change over time. The surface may discolor or turn to a brown-yellow color. This is caused by hard water, cleaning solutions, soap, and microorganisms. Yes, as soon as the coating on your fixture starts to degrade, bacteria, fungi and mold quickly start to invade it.

Another problem with a Jacuzzi is chipping and cracking of the surface. Even dropping a showerhead can make a nasty dent in the coating of your fixture. The cracks and chips will only get worse over time. You really need to take action as soon as possible. If you start to notice white spots on the surface of your Jacuzzi, then it’s really time to do something about it.

 

Why Reglaze Your Jacuzzi?

We know that the very first thing that comes to your mind is replacing the Jacuzzi. However, we can assure you that there is a better way to solve your problem. Instead of replacing the fixture and paying upwards of $5,000, why don’t you take advantage of our industry experience and reglaze the Jacuzzi? During the tub refinishing process, the old coating is completely removed and a new coating is applied (after a primer, of course). The new coating will look and feel just like the original enamel after it cures (it takes around 7 days for this to happen).

Another benefit is the fact that you don’t have to do any construction work. You don’t have to pay to remove the old item, install the new one, and redo all the plumbing. No waste, no debris, no dust. In some cases, we don’t even need to remove the grout.

 

Is It Expensive?

You may think it’s expensive to refinish a Jacuzzi. We can assure you that this is not the case. Truth be told, you should expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,000 for a complete Jacuzzi reglaze. If you think about the price of a new item, you’ll quickly realize that resurfacing the old one is the best option. And don’t forget about plumbing and labor costs if you decide to replace the fixture.

An interesting thing about reglazing is the fact that it can be done in just a couple of hours. You don’t have to waste any time and effort searching for a new fixture and getting it delivered to your doorstep.

 

Reglaze, Don’t Replace!

By refinishing your old Jacuzzi, you can continue using it for around 10 more years. Yes, our products are of the highest possible quality, so the coating will last for a decade if you take good care of the fixture. The glaze will look just like the original one – and will be just as sturdy. We can guarantee that the surface of the Jacuzzi will not peel off or discolor for a long time. In fact, all our clients get a warranty for their peace of mind.

Finally, reglazing is eco-friendly. Instead of sending the Jacuzzi and all the various plumbing parts to the landfill, you can bring the fixture back to life and use it for another decade. Don’t worry, the solutions we use to resurface your item are not harmful to the environment. Also, it’s worth noting that our experts work safely and take every precaution to make sure you and your loved ones are safe during the reglazing process.

If you are reading this, it means you are looking for an option to make your bathtub shiny once again. Perhaps you have to deal with a discolored or rusty tub. Or perhaps you’re tired of that matte, worn-out look. No matter the reason, you should be aware that you have several options. If you want to make your bathroom shine once again, you can either replace the old tub or – even better – reglaze it.

In this blog post, we will talk about the best choice. Learn which option is the best for you and how you can have a modern bathroom without having to pay a small fortune for it. Read on!

 

Is Replacement an Option?

Many people think about replacing their bathtub as soon as they notice that the glaze is starting to show signs of aging. Another reason to replace the tub is represented by chips and cracks that are quickly getting larger. Truth be told, the coating on your tub is designed to last for a specific period of time. It is subject to wear and tear every time you take a bath or even a shower.

But should you replace the tub? If you think about it for a minute, replacing a bathtub can cost thousands of dollars. A decent tub is around $1,500. Resin stone and cast stone tubs are even more expensive. However, replacing a tub involves much more than just buying a new fixture. You will have to pay for the removal and disposal of the old tub. You will have to pay for removing the grouting and for regrouting. You will even have to pay to replace the plumbing, which can be quite a costly endeavor.

 

Bathtub Reglazing Benefits

Why would you want to pay so much money to replace the bathtub when you can simply have it reglazed in a couple of hours? During the refinishing process, our expert removes the old coating and applies a new one. After the new glaze cures (in around 7 days), the surface of your tub will look like new. It’s worth noting that our expert will also repair all the chips, cracks and dents during the reglazing process.

A professional resurfacing job can cost anywhere from $350 to $750. This is definitely a lot cheaper than replacing the bathtub. And did you know that reglazing does not involve construction work? At the most, we will have to remove the grouting and then regrout. You don’t have to worry about dust and debris. You don’t have to worry about paying for waste removal. And, best of all, you won’t send a perfectly good bathtub to the landfill. Our bathtub reglazing service will bring it back to life in no time.

 

Reglaze, Don’t Replace!

Not only is resurfacing cheaper than replacing a tub, it is also an environmentally friendly approach. We can prolong the life of your old, worn out tub by up to 15 years (if you follow our cleaning advice and maintenance tips). And remember, the tub will look like a brand new one after our expert finishes the resurfacing procedure.

 

A Word on DIY Refinishing Kits

We know there are several Do It Yourself reglazing kits on the market. They are quite cheap too. However, we always advise homeowners to refrain from trying them out. There are several reasons for this. First, you have no experience with reglazing, so you won’t probably be able to do a good job with a DIY kit. Second, refinishing involves the use of dangerous chemicals (our experts wear respirators, for example). Why would you want to risk your health and the health of your loved ones? And third, a DIY solution will never pass the test of time. The coating will start to fade and peel off in just one or two years.

Our professional reglazing solution, on the other hand, will last for up to 15 years. At the very least, you should expect to continue using your shiny bathtub for 8 more years. If you need more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here at White Glove Reglazing.

 

In this blog post, we will explain everything you need to know about Jacuzzi refinishing. You will learn about the technological process, as well as about the different types of fixtures that can be reglazed. In addition, we will talk about the risks involved and the benefits of a properly-done refinishing procedure.

Perhaps you have heard about Jacuzzi refinishing (or reglazing, or resurfacing). Even though you will find some information about the process on various websites, you won’t find an in-depth discussion about it. After all, most companies just want to sell their services; they are not interested in explaining the process to the homeowner. We’ll take a different approach, so read on!

 

Refinishing Explained

So, let’s start with the basics: explaining our reglazing services. Basically, during the refinishing process, your Jacuzzi’s coating is replaced completely. This means that the end result is a fixture that looks just like a brand new one. Only an expert should be able to tell the difference. Here are the basic steps we take to resurface a Jacuzzi:

1. Our expert covers all the surrounding fixtures and tiles to make sure the chemicals are applied only to the targeted fixture.
2. The coating on your Jacuzzi is removed with chemicals or by a sanding process. Our experts use protective gear, don’t worry about it.
3. If there are cracks, dents or other cosmetic problems, we will repair them. Also, we will remove any signs of rust.
4. Our expert will apply at least one layer of primer to the surface of the Jacuzzi.
5. The coating is applied over the primer and left to cure. If necessary, our expert will apply a second layer of coating.
6. The Jacuzzi is left to cure for at least 48 hours. You are advised to avoid cleaning the fixture for 7 days to make sure you don’t damage the new coating.

 

Which Jacuzzis Can Be Reglazed?

As you can see, the reglazing process is not overly complicated. Also, it’s worth noting that we don’t do any construction work. You don’t need to worry about the mess or about paying for waste removal. In case we need to remove the grouting, our expert can regrout everything in no time.

But what Jacuzzis can we reglaze? Basically, you can count on us to refinish any type of Jacuzzi, even fiberglass, stainless steel and acrylic ones. Remember, only the surface of the fixture will be affected by the refinishing process. This is why the material your fixture is made up of doesn’t matter too much.

 

Are There Any Risks?

We need to tell you right from the start that reglazing a Jacuzzi carries some risks, if you are not a trained and certified professional. Some of the chemicals used during the refinishing process are dangerous, especially when used in confined and unventilated spaces. This is why our experts wear protective gear during the process. If you are not experienced at reglazing fixtures, we recommend you leave this to an expert.

Also, keep in mind that the surface of the Jacuzzi needs to cure for 24 to 48 hours. Do not use the Jacuzzi during this time because you can damage the new coating. You are also advised to avoid cleaning the fixture for 7 days. When you clean the fixture, do not use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

 

Benefits of Refinishing Your Fixtures

The benefits of refinishing a Jacuzzi are clear:

• You save money. Reglazing a fixture is often much cheaper than replacing it. Remember to take the plumbing and labor into consideration when doing the math.
• You protect the environment. Why send the old Jacuzzi to the landfill when you can reglaze it and continue using it for another 7 or 8 years?
• You save time. You don’t have to waste your time searching for new fixtures and doing construction work in your home. The reglazing process usually takes a couple of hours.

The end result is a Jacuzzi that looks just like a new one. Don’t believe us? Take a look at our before and after photos and see for yourself why we are the number one choice for people looking to refinish their fixtures and tiles.

The Cost of Replacing a Tub

Reglazing comes with many benefits, but perhaps the biggest one is the price. As you probably know, replacing a tub can set you back anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000. Remember, you also have to pay the plumber and the plumbing materials. Also, you need to remove the grouting and then regrout. And finally, don’t forget about labor costs resulting from the removal and disposal of the old tub. In many cases, you will also have to pay a service to remove the resulting waste. The costs will quickly add up.

 

Resurfacing Costs

When it comes to reglazing, the costs are lower. You can expect a cast iron or porcelain tub to cost just around $500 to refinish. Fiberglass and acrylic tubs are a bit more expensive to reglaze, but the costs shouldn’t exceed $700-$800. It’s still cheaper than replacing the fixture. Also, keep in mind that refinishing does not involve construction work (you don’t have to deal with all the dust and debris resulting from construction work).

Resurfacing a tub also takes a lot less time than replacing the fixture. In most cases, the refinishing is done the very same day our expert starts working. Just remember to allow the new coating to cure for around 7 days. Your old tub will look like new in no time.
