THE REFINISHING PROCESS
Before you get rid of that old tub consider refinishing what you already own. Usually is more cost-effective than replacing it for something new. Refinishing a bathtub saves you the time, money and effort involved in a bigger bathroom remodeling project. Plus, it allows you to preserve an older design, such as an antique clawfoot tub, that adds character to a bathroom but has seen better days. A tub that's chipped, scratched, rusty, or worn can make your bathroom look dated and unattractive. Refinishing helps protect the integrity of your bathtub. However, constant care in terms of weekly cleaning and maintenance is required to keep moisture and unwanted agents such as mold from deteriorating your finish and potentially damaging it. When given proper care, your reglaze will last 10-15 years.
