When your bathroom is in need of a much-needed facelift, you want to look around at all the fixtures including the tub. Changing the way your tub looks will influence the way the bathroom looks and can take it from boring to modern. If your bathroom does not match, it will only draw negative attention just as a stained and old tub will too.
As you explore your options to update your tub and bathroom, consider the two main options available, which include replacing your tub or having it reglazed.
Reglazing your bathtub involves the surface of the tub being cleaned, repairs being made, and a coating of glaze applied to it. Of course, there are some smaller steps nestled in there, but that gives you an idea of the main steps involved. After the glaze has been applied, your tub will need to cure or dry for at least 24 hours before you can use it. The reglazing process should always be completed by a professional to ensure the best results.
When Is Reglazing a Good Idea?
Reglazing is a good idea when you have a tub that is in decent condition and you want a change for it. For example, if you are unhappy with the current color of your tub, reglazing can change that. In addition, if your tub has surface damage, reglazing can repair that for you and make the tub smooth once again.
Reglazing is an ideal investment for homeowners because it does not cost a lot of money and is much more affordable than replacing the tub. If your tub simply needs a facelift, then reglazing is the way to go.
When Is Replacement a Better Idea?
Replacing your tub is going to be a financial investment and one that is much more expensive than having the tub reglazed. Because of this, it is not always the best idea but sometimes it is the only option available.
For example, if your tub is majorly damaged, then you will need to have it replaced. If you want to completely change the style of your tub (standard to clawfoot), then you will need to have it replaced. If rust has destroyed your tub a replacement will be recommended.
