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: Is a peeling bathtub bad?

• <div><p>A peeling bathtub is not a good thing. It&rsquo;s a sign that the finish is coming off, and continued exposure to water and cleaning products can continue to damage the finish and eventually the underlying structure of the tub. What starts as a few chips or flakes can worsen into large chunks peeling off.</p></div>

Q: Do acrylic tubs crack easily?

• <div><p>Acrylic tubs are extremely durable and rarely chip or crack. Even when frequently used, tubs made with this material are largely resistant to damage. However, damage may occur as the tub ages. They can also crack from damage from heavy objects and cleaners or a lack of support. </p></div>

Q: How often should you refinish your refinished bathtub?

• <div><p>Refinished bathtubs typically need to be refinished every <b>five years</b> or so. Frequent cleaning and use will break down the finish and make cracks and chips appear more readily. Cracks and chips tend to grow once they begin unless they are repaired immediately. Ideally, you should refinish your bathtub before it gets old enough that refinishing isn&rsquo;t worth the hassle.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take the tub resurfacing smell to go away?

• <div><p>It takes about 24 hours for the tub resurfacing smell to go away or the total dry time, although you will notice it the most during the first couple of hours. Refer to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions or ask your bathtub resurfacing pro how long it takes for the smell to dissipate. </p></div>

Not only did they check out the problem I knew about but they also inspected the rest of the roof. They found some other major problems; vent pipes cracked and loose screws holding the roof. They were able to fix it all. Very pleased
