What Is Included in a Bathroom Refinishing Estimate
While it is not as complete when compared to a replacement or even a liner, bathtub refinishing is a good way of resolving the problem of dealing with a nasty bathtub. Besides, liners come with their own set of unique problems, such as trapping water and losing the beauty of the tub itself. First of all, you should never attempt any DIY bathtub refinishing, not unless you want a bad end result. This is why you must consider hiring a local company for a bathroom refinishing estimate.
Quality
Quality varies from each company, and in a recent poll of homeowners all agreed, that quality seemed to hinge on one thing: preparation. A poorly prepared bathtub will result in peeling paint. Another common complaint is chipping. Most homeowners report that their refinished tubs end up getting chipped within months of refinishing, after even normal usage. It is not known, though, what the company did, how they prepared the surface, etc. Also, this is not an industry-wide complaint.
Cost
The cost will also vary, however, most homeowners spend approximately $550 for the service. Some homeowners state they paid from $250-$300 for bathtub refinishing, however, these also tend to be the homeowners that complained about the poor quality.
Should You Refinish Or Replace Your Bathtub?
Deciding to refinish or replace your bathtub will greatly depend on the tub’s condition and type. Bathtub restoration or inlays can only be done on minor chips, cracks, rust, and grime. Tubs that have excessive damage need to be relined or replaced. Clawfoot and antique freestanding tubs should only be refinished.
