There advantages as well as disadvantages to everything. Bathtub refinishing is no exception to this rule. It has its benefits as well as demerits as listed below. To start with its benefits, bathtub refurbishment has visual appeal.

To start with it has great aesthetic appeal. In this case, it makes the bathroom not only look new but also gives it that shiny luster that we all want for the bathroom to make it as pleasant as possible for all those that use it. It also makes it easy to clean as the surfaces are shiny so dirty does not stick hence easy to scrub off any dirt.

In addition to that, it is way cheaper than purchasing another tub as whole. This is due to the cost of purchasing transport and also specialized fixing as one needs to hire a professional contractor as a plumber to avoid leakages that come with the purchase of a new tub. Bath tub refurbishment saves you money as they just use the old and add a layer of new after scrapping off the old and unpleasant layer. Pocket friendly solutions are always the best solutions as long as one is getting value for their money.

To top up on that, bath tub refurbishment saves time due to the installation period of the tub. This is because it is using the old systems just giving the old a new look. Also, it does not require the hiring of a professional general contractor or plumber.

One can do it themselves after buying the products from the local store and refurbishment it. This eases the making and it also increase the number of times of refinishing and nothing beats the convenience of being able to do it yourself. You will achieve optimum standard of labor.

Despite these many advantages bath tub refurbishment has its own disadvantages. To start with, it chips easily as the material used is not particularly hard enough to withstand weight and also bumping. This makes it risky for those who have children as they will be tempted to eat the pieces that chip off the tub and they are health hazardous. This therefore means that one needs to keep an eyes on the kids when using a refinished bathroom mostly after the first year.

To add to that bathtubs that have been refinished tend to degrade quickly after the first year. This is because the materials that are being used. Since they are hardy, they tend to lower their quality after the first twelve months hence needing replacement. This therefore means that over time one will have to spend more to keep on re-fixing the tub after every year as compared to buying another tub at once.

Lastly, there are also alternative solutions. One is obviously bathtub replacement. Buying a new bath tub is always the best option. If this is not possible due to financial constrains one may opt to go the bathroom liner way. It follows the old contour hence effective, it used high technology as well as good acrylic. It also has a longer life due to the use of technology as well as the assurance of good quality because of the use of good quality material.
