Essentials Of Getting Bathtub Refinishing

By Carolyn Harris


There advantages as well as disadvantages to everything. Bathtub refinishing is no exception to this rule. It has its benefits as well as demerits as listed below. To start with its benefits, bathtub refurbishment has visual appeal.

Once you refinish your bath tub, it looks as good as new as compared to its older and former glory as we all know all humans are attracted to everything that looks good or new. It makes the bathroom more habitable as well as eases the daily cleaning ritual as it is less tedious to scrub. We are also lucky that refinishing allows people to choose from an array of colors to suit the customer taste as well as preference.

In addition to that it is way cheaper than the cost of actually purchasing a complete new bath tub. The products used to refinish the bath tub as well as the labor used, that is in the case you opt to pay someone to actually do it for you, do not even add up to the cost of actually buying another tub all together.

To top up on that, bath tub refurbishment saves time due to the installation period of the tub. This is because it is using the old systems just giving the old a new look. Also, it does not require the hiring of a professional general contractor or plumber.

It also has demerits despite all these many merits. To begin, it chips easily. This chips may end up hurting someone once they are ingested by the little children or if stepped on by anyone whatsoever. They may cut and cause serious injuries to users of bathroom. The last thing is to put at risk ones family or those one lives with.

Despite these many advantages bath tub refurbishment has its own disadvantages. To start with, it chips easily as the material used is not particularly hard enough to withstand weight and also bumping. This makes it risky for those who have children as they will be tempted to eat the pieces that chip off the tub and they are health hazardous. This therefore means that one needs to keep an eyes on the kids when using a refinished bathroom mostly after the first year.

To add to that bathtubs that have been refinished tend to degrade quickly after the first year. This is because the materials that are being used. Since they are hardy, they tend to lower their quality after the first twelve months hence needing replacement. This therefore means that over time one will have to spend more to keep on re-fixing the tub after every year as compared to buying another tub at once.

Lastly, there are also alternative solutions. One is obviously bathtub replacement. Buying a new bath tub is always the best option. If this is not possible due to financial constrains one may opt to go the bathroom liner way. It follows the old contour hence effective, it used high technology as well as good acrylic. It also has a longer life due to the use of technology as well as the assurance of good quality because of the use of good quality material.
