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.
