1. To
Save
Money:
If you
want a
new look
for your
bathroom,
but
don't
want to
spend
thousands
of
dollars
remodeling,
then
refinishing
is your
best
value.
Replacing
the
bathtub
alone
can cost
as much
as
$3,000.
With
refinishing,
you only
pay a
small
fraction
(as
little
as 10
percent)
of the
cost of
replacement.
And
anyone
who has
ever
replaced
the
tiles or
sink in
their
bathroom
knows
the mess
and
hassle
of
demolition,
as well
as the
hole it
can put
in their
wallet.
2. To
Save
Time:
Refinishing
a
bathtub
can take
as
little
as four
hours.
You can
shower
or bathe
the very
next
day.
Replacing
a tub,
however,
can take
weeks,
when you
factor
in the
time to
rip out
your old
tub,
install
a new
one, let
caulking
dry, and
readjust
or
replace
plumbing.
With
many
homes
having
only one
bathtub,
weeks of
delay
are not
affordable,
practical
or
convenient.
3.
Durability:
Refinished
tubs or
ceramic
tiles
can
easily
last 15
to 20
years or
more
with
proper
maintenance.
A new
porcelain
bathtub
may last
a few
years
longer,
but the
cost of
replacement
is
nearly
triple
what it
would
cost to
refinish.
Not only
is
refinishing
more
cost-effective,
but
refinishers
are also
able to
provide
extras,
such as
slip-resistant
surfaces
and
custom
colors.
Bathtub
Refinishing
is also
great
for
repairing
small
chips
and
cracks,
making
it ideal
for
fixtures
that are
otherwise
in good
condition.
Professional
restoration
companies
like
Miracle
Method
guarantee
their
work, so
be sure
to ask
about
warranties
when
shopping
for a
refinisher.
4.
Aesthetics
Because
bathtub
refinishing
can
match
nearly
any
color,
you can
change
that
avocado
green
tub to a
color
you
really
like --
even
white.
Since
most of
us have
purchased
previously
owned
homes
that
were
decorated
according
to
someone
else's
preferences,
it's
probably
not
exactly
the way
you'd
like it
to be.
Now you
can
change
that
1970s
color
scheme
in just
a few
hours.
And at a
savings
of up to
90
percent
of the
cost of
replacement,
it's a
hard
value to
beat.
Not only
will
your
bathtub
look
great,
but it
will
also
feel
silky
smooth!
My tub
really
needs
some
work.
Shouldn’t
I just
throw it
out and
get a
new one?
Why pay
all the
money on
a new
tub,
when we
can save
you
money
and make
your old
tub look
new
again?
Consider
the cost
of
ripping
out an
old tub
(and the
potential
cost of
replacing
tiles)
and
compare
it to
the cost
of a
refinished
tub. |
