3 Reasons You Should Have Your Bathtub Refinished
Everything breaks down over time due to regular use, including your bathtub. Before you wonder, we are not referring to plumbing (although that also breaks down); instead, we are talking about the finish on the tub, i.e., the material that covers it and its sheen. However, with time, the finish can crack, rust can form, and the paint may start to peel. Fret not! All these can be resolved by getting your bathtub refinished.
Below are the top three reasons you should have your bathtub refinished!
1. Save money: Refinishing your bathtub is less expensive than getting a new one. Therefore, instead of simply removing the existing bathtub and replacing it with a new one, hire a professional to repair the cracks and other damage signs and repaint the tub using specific materials. Your tub will look as good as new, and the new finish will last for many years.
If you think about the larger picture, you will realize that you have spent only a fraction of the cost to refinish the tub rather than replacing it with a new one.
2. Save time: Removing the existing bathtub and installing a new one is not as easy as it sounds. It is a much more complex process than cutting some caulk lines and unscrewing some faucets. You should know that most tubs are connected to a series of pipes and attached to the wall, under the drywall. In the case of a jacuzzi tub, you may also have to deal with some electrical wiring and might have to get the tub cut into a piece to remove it. In fact, you may also have to cut some walls to make enough space for tub removal. All this will consume a lot of time.
On the other hand, bathtub refinishing usually takes a day or two, based on the damage, tub size, and other factors.
3. Reduce waste: Why buy a new bathtub when you can continue using the one you currently have? Refinishing allows you to use the same tub by giving it a new life. It means you will not have to allocate any resources to get a new tub. You will also not be contributing to landfill waste and the indirect use of fossil fuels by having the bathtub shipped to you. Hence, refinishing your bathtub is an eco-friendly option as well.
