Q: Will ammonia damage an acrylic tub?

• <div><p>Ammonia is a powerful household cleaner, but don&rsquo;t use it for your acrylic tub.

Q: Should I refinish my bathtub or replace it?

• <div><p>The cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you&rsquo;re looking to upgrade your tub on a budget, you might be better off refinishing it for now.

Q: Which is better—an acrylic or fiberglass tub?

• <div><p>Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking.

Q: How do I maintain a bathtub liner or shower surround?
