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: 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: What maintenance is required after surfaces are resurfaced or refaced?

• <div><p>Routine cleaning with light detergents, avoiding abrasives, and timely addressing chips prolong the new surface appearance.</p></div>

Q: Should I refinish my bathtub or install a bathtub liner?

• <div><p>Refinishing or installing a tub liner comes down to your personal preference, budget, and timeline. It costs $480 to refinish a tub, and it takes about six hours. In comparison, installing a liner costs between $800 and $1,000 and takes about a day or less, including plumbing fixtures.</p></div>
