How do I know if my tub is fiberglass or acrylic?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to check whether your tub is fiberglass or acrylic. If your tub is a color other than white, then your tub is likely acrylic (as fiberglass tubs are usually white). Check to see if there is discoloration on the bottom of the tub, because if it’s yellowed, then you can be fairly sure it’s fiberglass.</p><p>Also, fiberglass tubs have thinner edges and are cool to the touch. Acrylic, on the other hand, is either room temperature or warm to the touch.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to fix a peeling bathtub?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-bathtub-refinishing-cost.htm">Bathtub refinishing costs</a> an average of <b>$460</b> and includes removing the finish, sanding or acid etching the surface, priming it, and applying an epoxy coating. After the coating cures, the bathtub should look as good as new, and the finish should last between seven and 10 years. Because bathtub refinishing requires hazardous chemicals, you should call a bathtub refinisher to do the job.</p></div>

Q: Should I replace or refinish my bathtub?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-refinish-or-replace-your-bathtub.htm">resurface or reglaze your bathtub</a>, and it&rsquo;s faster and less expensive than replacing a bathtub. Plus, replacing a bathtub is an extensive and intrusive process that requires wall repairs. Refinishing is an excellent option if the old one is in good working condition.</p><p>There are also options to install a bathtub liner over your existing tub. However, if you&rsquo;re seeking a new bathtub with new features, you&rsquo;ll likely want to replace your tub.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect the cost of resurfacing or refacing these surfaces?

• <div><p>Costs vary by materials used, surface size, and complexity. Refacing can be cost-effective compared to full replacements, with an average range between $300 and $1,200.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between resurfacing and refinishing?

• <div><p>The difference between resurfacing and refinishing is that refinishing only works on solid surfaces that are in good condition, whereas resurfacing will restore a cracked or worn surface to its original, blemish-free state. Refinishing will leave you with a smooth and glossy surface you can&rsquo;t get from resurfacing alone. If that&rsquo;s the look you&rsquo;re going for, contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-finishing/">local concrete finishing contractor</a> to achieve it.</p></div>

Great experience with this project. The crew delivered in everyway. Installed in just one day and that included the demolition of the existing bathtub insert. Any issue that came up was fully discussed with me and they made sure I understood it and how it would be taken care of. A huge shoutout...
