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. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity. </p></div>

Q: Are there other ways to refinish a bathtub?

• <div><p>Two alternatives to reglazing are installing a bathtub inlay or a bathtub liner. An inlay is a low-priced mat that adheres to the bottom of a bathtub or shower. It&rsquo;s useful for sealing minor leaks and concealing damage on the bottom of a tub. On the other hand, a bathtub liner is essentially a protective casing that goes over the entire tub. They are usually custom-fit and cost more than reglazing yet don&rsquo;t last as long.</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: Are there environmental benefits to resurfacing instead of replacing surfaces?

• <div><p>Refinishing reduces landfill waste, minimizes resource extraction impacts, and uses fewer raw materials than new installations.</p></div>
