How long do fiberglass bathtubs last?

• <div><p>Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-should-i-hire-bathtub-replacement-handyman-plumber.htm">Bathtub installation by a plumber</a> is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan. </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>

Q: Can resurfacing or refacing be a DIY project?

• <div><p>While certain kits make DIY possible, professionals ensure durability and quality of finish, which is vital for high-moisture areas like baths.</p></div>

Q: Is resurfacing a tub worth it?

• <div><p>Resurfacing a tub is worth it if there are just a few dings, scratches, or chips. Expect to pay about $330 to $630 to refinish a tub. You can restore your tub to looking brand new for less money than replacing the tub. But you're better off replacing old bathtubs with heavy damage, mold, or other major issues. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to reglaze a tub?

• <div><p>Refinishing a bathtub takes about two to four hours, but let the surface set for another 24 to 48 hours before using it again. Once it's set, your tub should last for 10 years or more. Ventilating the bathroom during this time is key for safety. In comparison, it takes about four hours to install a new bathtub.</p><p> </p></div>
