What is Bathtub Refinishing?
Porcelain Bathtub Refinishing developed over 3 decades ago as a cost effective and time saving alternative to replacement for the apartment and hotel industry. Originally, epoxies were used for the refinish coating; later, urethanes proved to be more desirable. Refinishing of additional components soon followed, including sinks, ceramic tile, cabinets, countertops, fiberglass showers, acrylic, and cultured marble. As technology has improved the quality & durability of coatings, bathtub refinishing became a viable alternative for residential homeowners over bathroom remodeling or bathtub replacement. Bathtub Refinishing is also known in the industry as glazing, re-glazing, refurbishing and resurfacing. Why Refinish? A new basic bathtub will cost around $100. However, when you consider the cost of the demolition, disposal, plumbing, and then add the cost of setting tile or other wall surround, along with any flooring or carpentry involved, you will likely get an estimate of around $2000
