Best Bathtub Refinishing in NC

Bathtub Refinishing

Bathtub refinishing can also be known as Bathtub resurfacing, Bathtub Reglazing, etc.

Refinishing is an effective process of reglazing the surface of a worn or damaged bathtub

into a new like condition. The gradual process typically involves carefully removing the

drain and repairing any damaged areas, including; checking to see if the tub holds water

after draining. Chips are also repaired. After necessary repairs, etching and wet sanding

provide mechanical fixing and cleaning to the surface. Porcelain, enamel, and fiberglass

tubs are non-porous and do not provide a pleasant substrate for the new coating to attach

to. The visible result of a reglazed bathtub produces a glossy surface that seems wet and

has a light refraction.

Why Refinishing?

If you have an old tub that is old and difficult to clean and you may be thinking or

considering to replace it with a new tub. Before you finalize the decision to buy a new

tub, you might need to consider refinishing as an option depending on the benefits it

provides. 

 

Refinishing remains an excellent cost-effective alternative to replacing a bathtub,

countertop, tile or sink that is outdated, damaged, hard to clean, or simply the wrong

color. Refinishing can save you up to 75% over the cost of replacement while

lasting many years. The process involves roughly 3 to 5 hours to refinish and is ready to

use within 24 hrs, or even sooner with special curing procedures. Many homeowners

have the existing tub reglazed, which typically costs $300-$1,000, depending on area

and process.

 

Reglazing is quick, usually taking only a day to complete while replacement can take up

to several weeks or months if you choose for a custom unit.

 

Refinishing can typically be done on Bathtubs - porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, cultured

marble, clawfoot tubs Countertops — laminate, Formica®, tile, solid surfaces, marble,

Ceramic Tile — walls, countertops, shower pans, showers, floors.

There are do-it-yourself reglazing kits available for less than $50, but this work is best

suited to a trained contractor. These products don't use the similar technology as the

professionals, and the results are less durable and often look painted on rather than

smooth. 

 

 

How long does it last?

Although the actual process only requires 4-6 hours to apply, it will take between

24 and 36 hrs to completely cure. Refinishing requires ripping off the existing coat

first then applying the new glaze. The life of a new glaze depends on the process you

chose. Whether you did it yourself or hired a professional. Experienced refinishers

typically offer warranties with proper care and cleaning instructions that results in

longer life of your bathtub. Do not use harsh acids or cleaners that contain bleach as

these materials can discolor or damage the surface of the tub earlier than its expected life.
