Chipped Tub? Don't Replace, Refinish

You walk into your bathroom and it’s just not the same. The tub is chipped and stained. Time for a new one, right? Wrong! Bathtubs are one of the most expensive appliances in your home, which makes it hard to justify replacing them if they're just starting to show their age. Instead of replacing your tub with a new one and spending a lot of money, have it refinished to look good as new. You’ll save yourself time, money, and effort!

What is Tub Refinishing?

Tub refinishing is the process of applying a new finish to the surface of an old tub. It’s not just for looks, though; it’s also a great way to make an old bathtub look new again while upgrading your bathroom at the same time. Tub refinishing can be done with no harsh chemicals and little mess, making it both safe and cost-effective. Bathtub refinishing involves removing all of the old layers of paint from your tub and completely sanding it down before adding a new protective coating. 


Tub refinishing can be a quick and easy way to bring new life to an old bathtub - even if it has been in your home for decades! Bathtub refinishing can also fix minor chips and cracks, giving you peace of mind that your tub won't suffer further damage over time. If you’re ready to update your bathroom, but don’t want to spend a lot of money or time on it, consider this option.

When to Have Your Tub Refinished

Refinishing a tub can be the perfect solution to a lot of common problems that you might have with your bathtub. If your tub is chipped or cracked, refinishing can fill in those chips and make it look like new again. The finish on your tub may also be worn down from years of use; refinishing will restore its original appearance and make it look brand new!


In addition to repairs and restoration, there are several other reasons why refinishing a bathtub might be ideal for you:



  • If you’re remodeling an older home and want the bathrooms to match what was already done in other rooms.
  • If you want to replace an existing tub but don’t have enough space for it or money for another one.

Benefits of Refinishing Your Tub Instead of Buying a New One

Refinishing your tub is a great way to save money and extend the life of your bathtub. There are many benefits to refinishing, including:


  • Refinishing will cost less than replacing your tub. Refinishing will save you money on your utility bills because it is more energy efficient than a new fixture. A new tub uses more water and electricity than an old one. It saves you money on plumbing costs, too! Your savings can be as much as 50% on the replacement price.
  • You can get a custom finish that you cannot buy from a store. If you wish to have an unusual color or pattern, such as marble or granite, this option is available for you!
  • Refinishing is environmentally friendly because it uses no harsh chemicals; more importantly, it extends the life of an older fixture in place of creating new waste materials like plastic shower base liners (which will eventually crack) or porcelain tubs (which chip easily). By choosing this option instead of buying another new bathtub, you'll be reducing waste and helping the planet by recycling old materials rather than using more resources from nature.
  • It's less work - and less mess - than replacing the entire fixture with something new! When you choose to refinish your tub, you don't have to replace any of the plumbing or fixtures. Just let the professionals do their job and voila! Your bathroom looks like new again.
  • You can keep your beloved tub! You'll have a clean new look while still keeping the original integrity of your old tub intact. If your tub is scratched, chipped, or cracked, it can be refinished so that it looks new again. Refinishing can extend the life of the tub by many years. The average tub lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance, but if you refinish your tub every five years or so, it will last longer than most homeowners expect.
  • It increases the value of your home without having to make a big investment. Bathtub refinishing is a cost-effective way to give your bathroom a fresh new look without breaking the bank. If you're looking to sell your home, you'll have an easier time if it looks like it's recently been renovated. Bathtub refinishing is a fast and affordable way to give your bathroom an instant facelift without having to worry about moving or replacing a tub.
  • It’s faster! If you’re looking for something quick and easy that will give your bathroom an instant makeover without having to pay too much money upfront then bathtub refinishing may be right for you! It only takes about two days from start to finish so it doesn’t require any major renovations either! You’ll have your bathroom back to normal - and even better - in a fraction of the time needed for a complete replacement.
