Any major changes you make in your bathroom can be costly and a big decision including having your tub refinished. With that said, it is important that you always take into consideration the options available to you while not assuming that the company you work with will give you all the best data. While there are many good companies out there who are fair and honest, there are equally some out there that will tell you one option is better than another, even though it may not be.
The burden to do research and learn the best option falls in your lap, so do not take the task lightly. Below, we will share with you some things that other homeowners shared about what they think are the most important things to know before you choose to have your tub reglazed.
Know Exactly What to Expect
Homeowners have stated that they wish they had inquired further about what they can expect during the project. The reason for this is that uncertainty can leave you with more questions. The homeowners we spoke with stated that they felt they should have gathered more information about the timeline of the project, the steps involved, and what they needed to do on the day of the project.
Know How to Clean the Tub
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is improperly cleaning your tub after it has been reglazed and homeowners would agree with this. To ensure that you get your money’s worth and that the tub lasts, you need to take special care of the glaze, and this means using different chemicals, avoiding certain chemicals, and using different techniques.
You do not have to worry about any chemical causing the reglazed surface to crack or chip but what you do have to worry about is staining and discoloration from the use of harsh chemicals. You do not want to use bleach or anything that includes bleach in it – it will become a nightmare for you. Choosing less harsh and more eco-friendly cleaning options is best. You also want to use softer sponges and less elbow grease when cleaning to avoid scratching the glaze.
Know the Warranty You Get
Most companies have a different warranty, and this means that some companies may cover certain things and others do not. It is vital that you inquire and understand the warranty in full. Homeowners who were asked about their warranties stated that they wished they had spent more time discussing it.
If the company you hire does not offer a warranty, this could be a red flag, especially if the business is new to the market. You want to protect yourself and you want to know that your investment will not be ruined just weeks after the job.
Make sure to ask about a warranty!
