Q: Which is better—an acrylic or fiberglass tub?

• <div><p>Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect the cost of resurfacing or refacing these surfaces?

• <div><p>Costs vary by materials used, surface size, and complexity. Refacing can be cost-effective compared to full replacements, with an average range between $300 and $1,200.</p></div>

Q: Can you remove rust from a bathtub drain?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely remove rust from a bathtub drain, and doing so can improve the appearance of your tub. Combine three parts baking soda with one part vinegar and mix into a paste. Apply the paste over the drain and let it sit for about an hour before rinsing with cold water. Repeat the process if some rust stains remain. If the stains return, consider installing a water softener, as ongoing issues with bathtub drain rust usually indicate hard water.</p></div>

Q: Will pressure washing damage my shower or tub?

• <div><p>Even at the lowest setting, there&rsquo;s always a risk that pressure washing might damage your 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: 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>
