subject: Why Should You Opt For Bathtub Reglazing? [print this page] Do you have a bathtub that is worn out, rusty, dented or chipped? What about a tub that has just lost its shine, looks dull or yellow? Bathtub reglazing will change the look of your tub by giving it a brand-new-look with a glossy-shine. There is absolutely no need to buy a new tub and replace the old for a new one. Within a few hours, your tub will be reglazed and ready to be used the very next day.
Installing a new tub is costly and requires a lot of time. A new tub has to be bought, the old tub removed and the new tub installed. Installation requires plumbing and redoing the tiles over the tub, a costly and timely process. Installing a tub can take a few days to even a few weeks. In contrast, you will save lots of money, time and effort by reglazing your already existing tub.
Reglazing provides a new finish to your tub leaving it looking glossy and brand new. The tub is first cleaned with special cleansers that remove old paint, soap scum, rust, stains, mold, mildew and old caulking. Any chips, dents, rust spots and small holes will be repaired. 2-3 primer coats will then be sprayed on with a special high-volume-low-pressure (HVLP) spray gun before applying the final top coats to the entire tub. All of this will be done in approximately 3-4 hours, saving you over 75% of the cost of installing a new bathtub and you never have to remove or replace anything from your home.
Bathtub refinishing is quick and will not damage the existing fixtures; it will only enhance the overall bathroom dcor. Your bathtub will become more than just a showering or washing area; rather, it will enhance the overall area of your home.
