How long does reglazing a bathtub last?

• <div><p>Reglazing a bathtub can last as few as three years and up to 15 years. With proper application, the recoated surface is as durable as a brand-new tub. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-acrylic-bathtub-correctly.htm">Clean your tub properly</a> and avoid using abrasive cleaners to maintain the coating. If the weather conditions were cold or humid during resurfacing or the tub was significantly damaged, the reglazing may not last as long. </p></div>

Q: Can you fix a hole in a plastic bathtub?

• <div><p>You're more likely to accidentally crack your plastic tub rather than successfully fixing a hole. You can fix hairline cracks and larger stress cracks with a plastic tub crack repair kit from a home improvement store. You'll need to clean out the tub, apply either the epoxy resin or filler putty compound into the crack, let it dry, and then sand it out.</p><p>Depending on your budget, you might consider a new tub as part of your bathroom remodel costs. It could be a good opportunity to update everything after considering all of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bathroom-remodel-ideas.htm">bathroom remodel ideas</a> out there.</p></div>

Q: How is the resurfacing or refacing process conducted for kitchen or bath surfaces?

• <div><p>The process involves cleaning the surface, applying bonding agents or new veneers, and finishing with a protective top coat or polish.</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: 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>
