TO REFINISH OR REPLACE ?
Professionals can refinish bathtubs in any color!
An alternative
to replacing, when remodeling your bathroom.
Over the course of years, your bathtub
tends to lose its shine becoming hard to keep clean and dingy
looking. Maybe you accidentally chipped the enamel or used too
harsh, abrasive powdered or liquid cleaners.
There are
2 ways to get a shiny, easy-to-clean tub again:
1. Repair and refinish your old
bathtub
(in any custom color) right in your home without removing anything
except the drain fixture and over-flow tripper, or the costly
alternative;
2. Tear out the old tub, part of the
surrounding wall and floor tiles, all plumbing, and often part of
the bathroom wall in order to get the old tub out. Then install a
new tub, repair walls and floor, and re-tile. (Most colors in tiles,
if over 15 years old, are discontinued so exact match is quite
difficult.)
Many plumbing, remodeling and decorating
companies recommend tub and tile refinishing of a bathroom over
tearing them out, to save their customers money and time.
Mr. David Powell the author of the "Hidden
Bathtub" manual for refinishers
and the owner of BATHTUB MAGIC
LLC will share a few points that may help you select a bathtub
refinishing company that does the job right.
Bathtub
Refinishing vs. Bathtub Liners
Bathtub liners
are designed to fit over your existing bathtub and walls. Typically
made out of vinyl or molded plastic and can be installed in a day.
However, the cost versus bathtub refinishing is about $1300 for the
bathtub and $3000 if you include the wall surround. The average
bathtub-refinishing project is around $290. Bathtub reglazing can save
70% versus the cost of a new liner.
Either a
refinished bathtub or bathtub liner should last 7-20 years. This is
based on a professionally done installation, proper cleaning and
care, and the quality of the products.
Bathtub
liners are easily scratched and if a sharp edge touches a bathtub
liner, it could be damaged. This is also true with a refinished
bathtub. By following the care and cleaning instructions issued by
the installer or refinishing company is crucial to the longevity of
your fixture.
A poorly
installed bathtub liner can end up being a headache for you later
on. Bathtub liners tend to leak at the joints, and or at the drains,
trapping water between the liner and the old tub. This could create
a ‘waterbed’ effect in the bottom of your bathtub and lead to mold
under the liner.
When you begin
to smell a putrid rotten odor, it most likely is stagnant, moldy
water between the tub liner and old tub and the unit should
be torn out at that time.
I have removed
these liners before and will never do it again … I recommend then,
to replace the bathtub by a licensed contractor.

Professional
bathtub
refinisher vs. a painter?
A professional refinisher knows exactly how to
properly clean, remove hard water film build-up, acid etch and sand
the tub before spraying the new finish on your tub. Keep in mind
that the bathroom environment is often wet and humid, and the
surface must withstand different chemicals to last.
Anyone can spray a
bathtub to look shiny and nice for a few
months, but the professional tub refinisher knows how to make the
new finish last for years to come!
Words of note...
An old cliché that
says, if it looks like it's to-good-to-be-true, it probably is.
Seems like a lot of
people recently found that truism out in a most painful way.
I have been in this
industry for over three decades, following some of the oldest distributors
and manufacturers supplying the bathtub refinishing industry.
They know what's
new, and proven.
So, I can
only say this--Go with both eyes open when selecting your
contractors.
Who does a job that lasts?
Before you
hire a refinisher, do some background checking. Call your local
plumbing companies. They will know what kind of work the refinisher
does. Also, you may want to call your local Better Business
Bureau or the Consumer Affairs and
find out about the company's reputation. Don't be taken in by
"Fly-By-Niters" or inexperienced painters, who promise "too-good-to-be-true"
prices and guarantees, then move on to new locations.
Why do I have zero before and after pictures
on my site?
Because I would have to touch them up to
'look-ugly' and I do not choose to do that.
Call plumbers, contractors, decorators,
etc... call around. Then go with your gut.
