Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts

As with any project, refinishing your bathtub presents pros and cons to consider, such as:

Pros

The job is typically quick, and your tub is ready within 48 hours.
Your bathtub looks new.
You don’t need to tear out the old tub and replace it with a new one.
You can customize it with the color of your choice.
You can’t tell the bathtub has been refinished.

Cons

Refinished bathtubs can be slippery.
Not all refinishing products are created equal.
You need to wait up to 48 hours before using the bathtub.

They provide a cost-effective way to update a bathroom, prevent leaks, and improve aesthetics without a complete remodel.

The cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you’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.

Don’t let the following items sit in your sink, or you’ll end up with a stain:

Tea bags
Wet cloths
Sponges
Hair dye

It takes about 24 hours for the tub resurfacing smell to go away or the total dry time, although you will notice it the most during the first couple of hours. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or ask your bathtub resurfacing pro how long it takes for the smell to dissipate.
