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>

Is it less expensive to resurface or replace a bathtub?

• <div><p>Resurfacing a bathtub is less expensive than replacing one. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-bathtub-refinishing-cost.htm">Resurfacing a tub costs</a> about <b>$330 to $630</b>, depending on the material, while replacing a tub costs an average of $4,150. But remember that resurfacing is a temporary solution for a worn-out tub, and you may need to refinish a tub every few years to keep it looking new.</p><p></p></div>

Q: Should I refinish my bathtub or replace it?

• <div><p>The cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you&rsquo;re looking to upgrade your tub on a budget, you might be better off refinishing it for now. Additionally, if your tub has only minor damage, refinishing it will make it look new again without the extra demolition and time. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How hard is it to resurface countertops?

• <div><p>Resurfacing countertops is relatively easy&mdash;especially for a pro. During this process, a countertop contractor will sand down or remove the existing countertop surface, make repairs, and then add a new surface or special coating. In certain instances, like if you use a laminate countertop coating system, it&rsquo;s an attainable DIY for beginners.</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>
