Q: What is the difference between resurfacing and refinishing?

• <div><p>The difference between resurfacing and refinishing is that refinishing only works on solid surfaces that are in good condition, whereas resurfacing will restore a cracked or worn surface to its original, blemish-free state. Refinishing will leave you with a smooth and glossy surface you can&rsquo;t get from resurfacing alone. If that&rsquo;s the look you&rsquo;re going for, contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-finishing/">local concrete finishing contractor</a> to achieve it.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to reglaze a tub?

• <div><p>Refinishing a bathtub takes about two to four hours, but let the surface set for another 24 to 48 hours before using it again. Once it's set, your tub should last for 10 years or more. Ventilating the bathroom during this time is key for safety. In comparison, it takes about four hours to install a new bathtub.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What are the cons of reglazing a tub?

• <div><p>The reglazed tub won&rsquo;t last as long as a brand-new bathtub. Professional reglazing jobs can only last up to 15 years.</p><p>According to most pros, you can only reglaze a tub once or twice. So, if you&rsquo;ve already reglazed your tub once, it might not be a realistic solution.</p><p>Some chemicals used in reglazing a bathtub can be dangerous to your health. If you&rsquo;re DIYing the project, ensure the room is ventilated, and always wear a mask. If you hire a contractor, make sure you get the clearance to use the bathroom again. </p></div>

Q: Can you put a tub liner over a cracked tub?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend using a tub liner to cover up cracks in a bathtub. Instead, you should repair the cracks yourself if you have the experience or hire a pro. Cracks may seem like small surface imperfections, but they can lead to much larger issues, so repair them as soon as you can. </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>
