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>

Q: What maintenance is necessary to keep a walk-in tub in good condition?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, checking seals, and ensuring faucets remain functional help maintain performance, along with periodic inspections.</p></div>

Q: Is rust in the bathtub harmful?

• <div><p>Rust in your bathtub occurs when iron in the water or on metal components in your tub are exposed to oxygen, but while it&rsquo;s unsightly, it won&rsquo;t make bathing dangerous. However, if the rust appears under or around your tub spout or shower head, it could indicate that you have high levels of iron in your water. Drinking water with small amounts of iron in it usually doesn&rsquo;t pose a health risk, but you might want to consider installing a water softener. The presence of iron could indicate that you have hard water, which can create some plumbing issues.</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 long does it take to refinish a bathtub?

• <div><p>For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub&mdash;you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side. </p></div>
