Numerous years ago a washroom was considered as a space-limited room where a tub occupies more than a half of total free space. Those times have passed by. In contemporary apartments and houses bathrooms are not underestimated anymore. Homeowners understand the importance of such place where a day starts and ends.
Moreover, tubs are offered in diverse assortment by the contemporary market: various styles, materials, colors and even functionalities. On the other hand, people are sometimes puzzled while picking up a bathtub.
Which solutions are the most suitable ones for a particular case? Everything depends on your conditions and preferences.
Cast-iron models are firm and long serving. They have perfect heat isolating characteristics and are resistant to both mechanic and chemical influences. Those models are perfect solution while picking up a freestanding bathtub.
Steel bathtubs are the perfect combination of price and quality. Their popularity is gaining momentum.
Acrylic tubs are frequently considered as contemporary trends. They are offered in different shapes and colors matching all design styles.
Moreover, over time all models lose their attractiveness. Homeowners may apply to our professional tub resurfacing company and restore new look of their tubs.
Every bathtub material has its strengths. Cast-iron tubs are prized for their durability and heat retention, steel offers a lighter yet sturdy alternative, and acrylic wins on comfort and warmth. But whichever you own, years of use eventually dull the surface — and that's where our bathtub reglazing service makes any of these materials look new again without the cost of replacement.
Cast-iron and steel tubs are almost always finished in porcelain enamel, which chips and stains over time. Our porcelain reglazing process restores that hard, glossy shell, sealing worn spots and returning the deep shine these classic fixtures are known for. Acrylic models, meanwhile, benefit from tub refinishing that erases scratches and yellowing while keeping their signature smooth feel intact.
Rather than agonizing over which material to buy next, many of our New York clients simply choose bathtub refinishing on the tub they already have. It's faster, far cheaper, and avoids the plumbing and wall damage that ripping out a heavy cast-iron tub can cause. At AZ Reglazing, we match the finish and color to your bathroom so the result looks seamless. The most suitable bathtub is often the one you own — beautifully restored rather than replaced.
