Advantages Of Getting Bathtub Refinishing

By Carolyn Harris


There are different names people used to refer to this practice of replacing the enamel of a worn out bathtub to achieve a new-like outer appearance. Some people call it re-enameling, others call it re-glazing. Like all things it has its merits, demerits as well as its alternative solutions. To start with, we can look at the merits of bathtub refinishing. It has numerous benefits that will make you drawn to refinishing it than buying or replacing your bathtub.

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, bathtubs which have been refinished are susceptible to getting mold. This is due to the materials used to refinish the bath. They absorb water or in other words are porous.

To top that up refinishing a tub saves time as compare to purchasing in the sense that you have to look for a re known place that sells good tubs as well as looking for a professional that will fix it to your desired taste, preference and specifications. Also a professional is not necessary as you can fix the bath tub just by yourself as long as you have the materials to actually fix it.

One can do it themselves after buying the products from the local store and refurbishment it. This eases the making and it also increase the number of times of refinishing and nothing beats the convenience of being able to do it yourself. You will achieve optimum standard of labor.

To conclude on the disadvantages, the tubs degrade quickly after the first year after the refurbishment. Again, the material used are solely to blame due to their lack of resilience and durability. This results to continuous replacement on an annual basis hence being expensive in the long run if you compare to buying a new tub and having it fixed by professionals.

In conclusion to the demerits, the tubs are also susceptible to mold because of porous material. This also means that they satin easier due to their porous nature. The bathroom conditions also provide an optimum climate for the flourishing growth of the mold that is a big health hazard in the house as children may be tempted to ingest it due to their curious nature.

In conclusion, bathtubs that have been refinished also tend to be more slippery as compared to the normal bath tubs since the finish is a thin layer that is very smooth. Once it gets soapy, it becomes even more slippery and the chances of a person of a using it slipping and falling are very if not extremely high.
