If you are tired of that dull tub or if you\u2019ve started to notice chips and cracks in the glaze, it\u2019s time to take action. Here are some of the most important benefits of a professional tub resurfacing project:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The old glaze is completely removed and replaced with a new layer of \u2013 shiny \u2013 coating. The end result should be a tub that looks just like a new one.<\/li>\n<li>All the chips and cracks are repaired. Also, rust is removed completely.<\/li>\n<li>You can change the color of the tub during the resurfacing process. Our expert will show you all the available colors so you can choose the one you like the most.<\/li>\n<li>A tub reglazing procedure is cheaper than replacing the tub.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t have to worry about construction work. Also, it\u2019s worth noting that you don\u2019t need to pay extra for waste removal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Cost of Replacing a Tub<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reglazing comes with many benefits, but perhaps the biggest one is the price. As you probably know, replacing a tub can set you back anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000. Remember, you also have to pay the plumber and the plumbing materials. Also, you need to remove the grouting and then regrout. And finally, don\u2019t forget about labor costs resulting from the removal and disposal of the old tub. In many cases, you will also have to pay a service to remove the resulting waste. The costs will quickly add up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resurfacing Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to reglazing, the costs are lower. You can expect a cast iron or porcelain tub to cost just around $500 to refinish. Fiberglass and acrylic tubs are a bit more expensive to reglaze, but the costs shouldn\u2019t exceed $700-$800. It\u2019s still cheaper than replacing the fixture. Also, keep in mind that refinishing does not involve construction work (you don\u2019t have to deal with all the dust and debris resulting from construction work).<\/p>\n<p>Resurfacing a tub also takes a lot less time than replacing the fixture. In most cases, the refinishing is done the very same day our expert starts working. Just remember to allow the new coating to cure for around 7 days. Your old tub will look like new in no time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-215\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whiteglovereglazing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-15-at-7.36.59-PM-2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whiteglovereglazing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-15-at-7.36.59-PM-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.whiteglovereglazing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-15-at-7.36.59-PM-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.whiteglovereglazing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-15-at-7.36.59-PM-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.whiteglovereglazing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-15-at-7.36.59-PM-2-1200x900.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.whiteglovereglazing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-15-at-7.36.59-PM-2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make an Informed Decision<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you replace the old, rusty tub or reglaze it is entirely up to you.
