Is it less expensive to resurface or replace a bathtub?

• <div><p>Resurfacing a bathtub is less expensive than replacing one. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-bathtub-refinishing-cost.htm">Resurfacing a tub costs</a> about <b>$330 to $630</b>, depending on the material, while replacing a tub costs an average of $4,150. But remember that resurfacing is a temporary solution for a worn-out tub, and you may need to refinish a tub every few years to keep it looking new.</p><p></p></div>

How long do fiberglass bathtubs last?

• <div><p>Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-should-i-hire-bathtub-replacement-handyman-plumber.htm">Bathtub installation by a plumber</a> is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish a bathtub?

• <div><p>For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub&mdash;you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side. </p></div>

Q: Should I refinish or replace my bathtub?

• <div><p>If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it. </p><p>If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing. </p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to reglaze a tub or replace it?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s substantially less expensive to reglaze a tub than to replace it. The average cost of reglazing a bathtub is between <b>$400 and $700</b>, but that range may be higher based on where you live and the type of tub you have. Meanwhile, if you want to replace the bathtub, you&rsquo;re looking at $2,000 to $9,400, with the average close to $5,700. </p></div>

I contacted L&L services to figure out a drainage issue. I had a drain line to my bathtub seperated from the main line. I previously paid another plumbing company to replace old cast iron pipe and while that company replaced most of it, this piece was not. He replaced it, and cleaned up some...

Jenna spent about 6 hours cleaning and scrubbing floors, cabinets, frig, bathtubs, toilets and sinks. She did a very thorough and professional job. She also did the floors in the living room and dining room. I would definitely recommend Jenna for any cleaning job you have no matter how tough.

"I do not recommend Bath Planet. The cost is exorbitant for such a pretty product made with poor quality materials and shoddy installation. There is too much give in the flimsy walls and pan. After only a month, I had to have someone come in and recaulk. It took a LOT of caulk for the big gaps. Yes, there was mold. Then, two years later, yet another issue. We noticed a squishing sound in the hall, then water started coming up between the floorboards. It took a plumber two trips (and a week of using no water in that end of the house - no dishwasher, kitchen sink, laundry, or bathroom) so the floors could dry and he could find the source of the water. Turns out, the shower drain was not properly installed, or perhaps it had worked itself loose with the flimsy bendable pan. Water was draining between the concrete slab and our pvc laminate flooring. Yes, I am upset. I am so sorry I allowed Bath Planet anywhere near my house."
