Replacement or refinishing: what is the best way of bathtub renewing?

A bathtub is undoubtedly the key element of every washroom. The diversity of materials, shapes and functionalities allows selecting perfectly suitable models for every particular bathroom but every tub has its serving term no matter how qualitative and expensive the model is. Thus through the years a homeowner notices different stains or scratches on a tub surface. At first they are almost invisible but then become more and more noticeable.
Some 10 years ago the replacement seemed to be the only way of such problem solving. But at present time there appeared perfect alternative that lies in a tub refinishing. Our company offers professional tubs restoration by attractive prices.
Selecting between replacement and refinishing take into account that bathtub replacement cost is so high and moreover demands much efforts. Apart from a new tub purchasing this decision implies complete washroom renovation taking about two weeks while refinishing service needs some 10 hours and your bathtub new look will be restored.

When homeowners ask us whether they should replace a bathtub outright or restore it, our answer almost always points toward refinishing. A full replacement means tearing out tile, disturbing plumbing, and living with a torn-up washroom for days. Professional bathtub reglazing renews the surface in a single visit, sealing chips and worn spots under a fresh, durable finish that looks factory-new at a fraction of the cost of tearing everything out.

Our bathtub refinishing process is built for exactly this decision. We repair surface damage, bond a new coating to the original substrate, and hand back a tub you can use within a day or two. The same crews that handle tub refinishing also offer tile reglazing on the surrounding walls, so the entire bathing area is renewed to match rather than leaving a bright new tub against tired old tile.

For most cast-iron, steel, and porcelain tubs, replacement is simply unnecessary. Unless the fixture is cracked through or structurally failing, porcelain reglazing preserves the piece you already own and extends its life by years. If you are weighing your options for reglazing in Brooklyn or anywhere across the five boroughs, we are glad to inspect the tub in person and tell you honestly which path makes sense for your space and budget.
