The Benefits Of Bathtub Reglazing

By Catalina Nielsen


If you want to make your bathtub look as good as new, then you definitely need to look into bathtub reglazing sometime soon. It is important to note that it would be best to hire professionals to get this job done for you, though. It is almost impossible to do the entire job yourself, after all.

This job entails working with a chemical substance known as urethane polymer. Urethane polymer is what will give your tub a clear and durable finish once everything has been said and done. Since this substance can be hard to work with, though, the utmost precautions have to be taken during the entire process.

Many people wonder if buying a brand new bathtub might be the better and cheaper choice. Well, truth be told, buying a brand new tub will involve taking out the old one, getting new plumbing and installing the new one. So, overall, glazing the current tub in your bathroom would actually be the most cost-effective option for you anytime.

This process doesn't smell like anything, doesn't make a mess, and doesn't cause any disruptions at home while it is being undergone. It is completely safe, too, and only takes several hours to finish. Of course, this will depend on what your current tub is like and whether it needs a lot of work done, in general.

Conversely, if you plan on renovating your whole bathroom, it would be highly advisable to complete your shelves, floors and tiles first and then glaze the bathtub last. This job comes with various benefits overall. It is more environmentally friendly than replacements, for one. Homeowners can also save up to 80% of their money. They won't have to worry about demolition and removal mess, either, which saves the landfills. You will also have a vast array of colors at your fingertips, so you can give a totally unique look to your bathroom and match it to any color that you want, too.

It doesn't even take very long to do this. While buying and installing a new tub could take weeks, if not months, reglazing your former tub will only take a few hours. However, the results will last for more than a decade. Any damages that are made on it during that time will be easy to fix, too.

With a good company by your side, this process can also prevent mold or mildew from forming in your bathroom. Your tub will be easier to clean, too. Plus, you won't have to worry about a lot of maintenance, either.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, it would be best to hire professional contractors to get the job done instead of doing it yourself, though. After bathtub reglazing, you will definitely feel like you have a brand new tub in your bathroom.
