Are there alternatives to caulking my bathtub?

• <div><p>You can use other ways to seal the space where your tub and the bathroom tile meet. Using sealant tape, epoxy sealer, and spray foam can be just as effective as caulking your bathtub. When using alternatives to caulk, the one that is best for you depends on your preferences. </p><p>Sealant tape takes less time and effort to use, which is why some homeowners prefer it. Meanwhile, epoxy sealer creates a smooth and glossy finish that can complement your bathroom. Lastly, spray foam is waterproof and can act as insulation for your tub. </p></div>

How long does reglazing a bathtub last?

• <div><p>Reglazing a bathtub can last as few as three years and up to 15 years. With proper application, the recoated surface is as durable as a brand-new tub. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-acrylic-bathtub-correctly.htm">Clean your tub properly</a> and avoid using abrasive cleaners to maintain the coating. If the weather conditions were cold or humid during resurfacing or the tub was significantly damaged, the reglazing may not last as long. </p></div>

Q: How long does resurfacing or refacing typically last?

• <div><p>Properly maintained, resurfacing typically lasts 5-10 years. Factors like surface usage and exposure to chemicals affect longevity.</p></div>

Q: How do I know which caulk to use for my tub?

• <div><p>When buying caulk, look for ones labeled for tub and tile. These have either acrylic latex or silicone compounds. This allows the caulk to stick to smooth surfaces and prevent mildew from forming. </p></div>

Q: Do acrylic tubs turn yellow over time?
