Refinishing vs Replacing

Refinishing vs replacing is a common dilemma for homeowners considering bathtub restoration. The refinishing process typically begins with a thorough cleaning of the bathtub surface to remove any dirt, grime, or soap scum. A bonding agent is applied to ensure a strong bond between the old surface and the new coating. The new coating is usually a polyurethane or epoxy based material, and the process can be completed in a variety of colors and finishes. The refinishing process can be completed relatively quickly, often within a day or two, minimizing disruption to the bathroom and daily routine. The age and condition of the bathtub are factors to consider when deciding between refinishing and replacing. The refinishing process can be completed using a spray gun or roller.
