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: What causes holes in a bathtub?

• <div><p>While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.</p><p>Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.</p></div>

Q: Is a peeling bathtub bad?

• <div><p>A peeling bathtub is not a good thing. It&rsquo;s a sign that the finish is coming off, and continued exposure to water and cleaning products can continue to damage the finish and eventually the underlying structure of the tub. What starts as a few chips or flakes can worsen into large chunks peeling off.</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>
