Is reglazing a bathtub worth it?

• <div><p>Reglazing a bathtub is worth it if your current tub is in good condition and needs to be refinished or reglazed to bring it back to its shiny, smooth glory. While battered bathtubs might need to be refinished, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-refinish-or-replace-your-bathtub.htm">bathtub refinishing is worth it</a>, too, because it can make tubs with surface imperfections, shallow cracks and scratches, and staining look like new. Reglazing a bathtub is less expensive than refinishing, and both are less than the cost of bathtub replacement. </p></div>

Q: Do acrylic tubs turn yellow over time?

• <div><p>Acrylic tubs can fade or turn yellow over time due to thick layers of accumulated dirt, hard water deposits from minerals, and shampoo or soap dyes. Also, as an acrylic tub ages, it may become dull or change color due to changes in the acrylic itself.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take the tub resurfacing smell to go away?

• <div><p>It takes about 24 hours for the tub resurfacing smell to go away or the total dry time, although you will notice it the most during the first couple of hours. Refer to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions or ask your bathtub resurfacing pro how long it takes for the smell to dissipate. </p></div>

Q: How long do acrylic bathtubs last?

• <div><p>Acrylic bathtubs can last up to 30 years without major issues if they receive the right care and maintenance. They can last even longer but might scratch or stain as they age. The expected longevity is a major factor when investing in a new tub. Cast-iron tubs are the longest-lasting option. </p></div>

Q: What causes holes in a bathtub?

• <div><p>While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.</p><p>Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.</p></div>

Jesse was great. Came out quickly and gave me an estimate by that evening for repairing the wooden eaves on my home. Understood exactly what needed to be done and completed it quickly despite having to go out and find some unusual wood to match what was on the rest of the house. He also matched...
