Do you go into your master bathroom each day only to become saddened by what you see? Is the bathtub in the guest house or room a shell of its former self? There is a way to fix the situation, and we are not talking about ripping the fixture out and replacing it. That is a lot of work, and it usually also involves tearing out walls too. Rather, the alternative solution at your fingertips is tub refinishing.
Sure, you can replace the bathtub if you like. However, when going that route, you should expect to spend more. According to Thumbtack, the national average cost of refinishing a tub is $475. People might be able to find a fixture for about that same price, but then there is also the cost of labor to install it. To make a long story short, a bathtub replacement can run upwards of $1000 easily.
Tub refinishing breathes new life into an old fixture. It makes the unit look good as new again. Removing a bathtub and installing a new one can take a week or more to finish. Our refinishing technicians can complete jobs within just mere hours. Once they are done, the tub will have a great appearance and be ready to use. Now, let's discuss some reasons why refinishing may be necessary.
An Outdated Color
Most bathtubs last for an extremely long time. That means yours could have been installed years and years ago. Its color was probably something to gawk at back in those days, but now it likely just makes you feel sick to view. Things don't have to be that way, though. We can transform an outdated yellow, green, pink, or brown tub into one that's bright white or another color of your choosing. More often than not, people elect to have their bathtubs refinished because of outdated colors.
Rust, Rust, And More Rust
As tubs age, it is not uncommon for them to rust. The flakes are usually most noticeable around the drains or overflows. Try and try as people might, scrubbing and household chemicals just won't remove the substance. Don't fret if bathtub rust is driving you mad. Instead, schedule a refinishing service and make the reddish-brown appearance disappear. When the team completes the task, your tub's surface will be beautiful and smooth to the touch again. You will be free to lay down and soak or stand up and shower. The choice is yours.
Chips And Stains
Most people like to think of bathtubs as indestructible, but they aren't. Have you ever dropped something like a tool onto the enamel? It chips and cracks. Those types of blemishes are another reason why tub refinishing might be right for you. The task repairs those spots and makes it as if they never existed. Refinishing also eliminates stains and grime. No matter how many times you clean some tubs, those items are still present, but not after refinishing.
