How do I know if my tub is fiberglass or acrylic?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to check whether your tub is fiberglass or acrylic. If your tub is a color other than white, then your tub is likely acrylic (as fiberglass tubs are usually white). Check to see if there is discoloration on the bottom of the tub, because if it’s yellowed, then you can be fairly sure it’s fiberglass.</p><p>Also, fiberglass tubs have thinner edges and are cool to the touch. Acrylic, on the other hand, is either room temperature or warm to the touch.</p></div>

Will pressure washing damage my shower or tub?

• <div><p>Even at the lowest setting, there’s always a risk that pressure washing might damage your shower or tub. Never use this technique if there’s pre-existing damage in your shower or tub, like peeling caulk, sealant, or cracked tiles. And skip this method entirely if there are any wood features present.</p></div>

What are signs that I need to refinish my bathtub?

• <div><p>There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Rust stains</b>, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating </p></li><li><p><b>Small chips</b>, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting</p></li><li><p><b>Discoloration</b>, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly </p></li><li><p><b>Dirty surfaces</b>, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should I replace or refinish my bathtub?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-refinish-or-replace-your-bathtub.htm">resurface or reglaze your bathtub</a>, and it&rsquo;s faster and less expensive than replacing a bathtub. Plus, replacing a bathtub is an extensive and intrusive process that requires wall repairs. Refinishing is an excellent option if the old one is in good working condition.</p><p>There are also options to install a bathtub liner over your existing tub. However, if you&rsquo;re seeking a new bathtub with new features, you&rsquo;ll likely want to replace your tub.</p></div>

Q: Will pressure washing damage my shower or tub?

Never use this technique if there&rsquo;s pre-existing damage in your shower or tub, like peeling caulk, sealant, or cracked tiles. And skip this method entirely if there are any wood features present.</p></div>

Q: How long should I wait to use my bathtub after reglazing it?

• <div><p>Most homeowners need to wait at least two days, sometimes three, to use their bathtub following the reglazing process. That&rsquo;s the normal length of time it takes for epoxy resin to cure. There are quick-dry epoxy kits available that cure in 12 hours, though. To ensure that the epoxy dries properly, try to ventilate the bathroom as well as you can. </p></div>
