Why Refinish Your Bathtub?
Bathtub refinishing addresses common issues like surface wear, staining, and damage while preserving your existing tub. The process involves repairing any cracks or chips, treating rust areas, and applying a new finish that bonds with the original surface. This restoration method maintains your bathroom's plumbing and structure, making it particularly valuable for older homes or custom installations where tub replacement would require extensive reconstruction.
Common Issues:
Yellowed or stained surface
Surface rust and chips
Peeling or worn finish
Scratches and scuff marks
Hard water stains
Outdated color
Rough, hard-to-clean surface
Small cracks or crazing
