5 Ways Our Bathtub Refinishing Method Benefits Health, Cost & Efficiency

If you’ve got an old, chipped, or otherwise damaged bathtub, there are more benefits to getting it repaired or refinished – beyond just for appearance. Understanding the cost to reglaze tub and the process of resurfacing bathtub can help you make an informed decision.

Here’s how our bathtub refinishing method benefits your health, cost, and efficiency:

  1. Bathtub Refinishing Cost

    The total refinishing bathtub cost is significantly lower than the expense of a full replacement. The cost of a new tub goes beyond just the purchase price—you also need to factor in the plumber’s fees and the cost of replacing the surround, which is often the most expensive part.

    If your tub appears grubby even after cleaning, or has significant staining, chips, and even cracks, not all is lost. Refinishing bathtub surfaces is a cost-effective alternative to replacement.

    Contact us for a repair estimate! Repairs are a significantly cheaper option to replacement, as is refinishing, and at Seattle Bathtub Guy we believe in saving you time and money. If we can avoid doing an extensive (and expensive) refinishing job, we will.

  2. New Bath Life with Bathtub Resurfacing

    There’s no need to let dull, stained, and inefficient fixtures ruin your bathroom’s appeal. Bathtub resurfacing and reglazing can restore your old sink, vanity, and even counters with a shiny new finish and save you a lot more money over the cost of replacement. The cost to reglaze a tub is much lower than buying and installing a new one, making it a smart, budget-friendly choice.

    You will get the same effect as you would with new fixtures, without the excessive cost! We can easily repair stains, chips, and scratches on many parts of your bathroom suite in less than a day, leaving you satisfied with the finished result.

  3. Protect Against Lead in Old Tubs

    Studies have shown that many pre-1984 porcelain tubs may contain unsafe levels of lead. This is a serious concern for the health of your family and yourself.

    By resurfacing your bathtub to prevent any lead from affecting your family, we offer a safe, effective and cost-saving alternative to a complete replacement.

  4. It’s Eco-Friendly

    Everyone’s doing his or her part to be green, and refinishing your tub is an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint!

    Since you’re consciously choosing not to install a new tub and dump your old one in a landfill, that’s a decision that minimizes your impact on the environment and saves you money. Win-win!

  5. Life of your Tub: Reglaze Tub vs. Replacement

    A refinished bathroom fixture can last years – probably beyond your expectations for a chipped or damaged fixture.

    Provided that it’s properly maintained (we will give you plenty of tips!), the results of a typical refinish job by the Seattle Bathtub Guy can last 10 to 15 years. Remember never to use bathmats, abrasive cleaners, or scrubbing pads!
