What are the cons of reglazing a tub?

• <div><p>The reglazed tub won’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’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’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>

Can you shower right after caulking?

• <div><p>No. You should let the caulk completely dry before you expose it to moisture. It’s safest to wait at least a full day before showering where you’ve recently caulked. Showering before caulk is fully dry can lead to a poor seal, meaning water can seep into cracks and cause damage and mold growth. </p></div>
