Give Your Old Bathtub a Fresh New Finish
A worn bathtub can make the entire bathroom feel dated. Stains, chips, rust, scratches, and faded surfaces can be difficult to ignore. Fortunately, replacing the tub is not always necessary. Bathtub refinishing can restore a suitable existing fixture and give it a clean, updated appearance without the disruption of a full bathroom remodel.
Bathman Refinishing provides bathtub restoration services throughout Metro Atlanta and nearby communities. From surface repairs to complete refinishing, we help restore bathtubs that have lost their original look.
Repair Damage Before Refinishing
A good finish starts with proper surface preparation. Before refinishing begins, damaged areas may need to be repaired so the final coating can be applied to a properly prepared surface.
Our Bathtub repair services can address common problems such as chips, rust, fiberglass cracks, holes, scratches, damaged corners, and worn areas. The appropriate repair depends on the bathtub's material and the extent of the damage.
Once suitable repairs are completed, the surface can be prepared for refinishing. This approach allows the existing fixture to remain in place while improving its overall appearance.
Restore Worn Bathtubs Without Replacement
A bathtub can still be structurally sound even when its finish looks tired. Tub resurfacing provides an option for restoring that surface without removing the existing fixture.
The process involves cleaning and preparing the tub, addressing suitable damage, and applying a new finish. Because the bathtub stays in place, there is no need for the extensive demolition that can come with a complete replacement.
This service can be suitable for porcelain-over-steel, cast-iron, fiberglass, and acrylic tubs. The condition of the fixture is important, so an assessment can help determine whether resurfacing is appropriate for your project.
Bathtub Reglazing and Surface Restoration
Bathtub reglazing is another term commonly used for restoring an existing tub with a new surface coating. The goal is to refresh the appearance while keeping the original fixture in place.
Preparation plays a major role in the result. The existing surface must be properly cleaned and prepared, while chips, rust, cracks, or other suitable damage should be addressed before the final coating is applied.
A standard bathtub project generally takes about four to six hours on site. After the work is completed, the tub typically needs 24 to 48 hours before it is ready for use.
Refresh Shower Surrounds Too
An old bathtub is not the only bathroom surface that can look worn. Dated shower tile and surrounds can also affect the appearance of the entire room.
Bathman Refinishing offers Shower surround refinishing for suitable existing surfaces. Rather than removing the surround, the surface can be prepared and refinished to create a cleaner, more updated look.
Refinishing can be especially useful when the existing surround is in sound condition but the color or surface appearance no longer suits the bathroom.
Professional Results vs. DIY Refinishing
DIY projects may look tempting when you want to save money. However, DIY bathtub refinishing requires careful preparation, proper products, and attention to application techniques. Problems with preparation or coating application can affect the finished surface.
Professional refinishing also allows suitable damage to be addressed before the final finish is applied. For homeowners who want to avoid the trial and error of a do-it-yourself project, professional service can provide a more straightforward option.
