The Complete Bathtub Refinishing Guide

So you're looking at your old bathtub. Past its prime. Chips, stains, strange fading, and that wonderful discoloration along one side. You probably considered replacing it, but then you learned how much a new tub would cost. In comes bathtub refinishing to save the day. Who better to teach you this miracle than GN Chip? What makes refinishing smart and what you need to know to do it.

What Is Bathtub Refinishing?

Tub refinishing, also termed reglazing, resurfacing, or restoring, is a cosmetic makeover. Give your worn-out tub a new surface and make it a stunner again. Imagine a bathtub spa day. The best part? It costs a fraction of buying and installing a new one.

In summary, professionals like GN Chip clean and remove the tub, repair any damage, apply a primer, and finish with a glossy coat. Consider it a thorough renovation without the construction commotion and hassle of replacement. Your tub gets a makeover, and your bathroom looks great without breaking the budget.

Why Refinish Not Replace?

A new bathtub's price may shock you, but it's not just the tub. Destruction, plumbing improvements, and installation charges are involved. A multi-thousand-dollar makeover might turn your bathroom into a construction site for days.

  • Refinishing by GN Chip offers your tub a shiny new look in less than a day. No demolition crew, dust clouds, or ‘wait, why did we start this project?' regrets.
  • Additionally, refinishing is eco-friendly. Why throw away a nice tub when you can revive it? You can feel good about refinishing since it keeps heavy, uncomfortable materials out of landfills and saves resources to create new tubs. Score one for you and one for nature.
