Why Choose Refinishing VS Replacement?

To Save Money: If you want a new look for your bathroom, but don't want to spend thousands of dollars remodeling, then refinishing is your best value. Replacing the bathtub alone can cost as much as $1,500. With refinishing, you pay a fraction of the cost of replacement. Anyone who has ever replaced the tiles or sink in their bathroom knows the mess and hassle of demolition, as well as the hole it can put in your wallet.

To Save Time: Refinishing a tub can take as little as four hours. You can shower or bathe the very next day. Replacing a tub, however, can take weeks, when you factor in the time to rip out your old tub, install a new one, let caulking dry, and readjust or replace plumbing. With many homes having only one bathtub, weeks of delay are not affordable, practical or convenient.

Durability: Refinished tubs or ceramic tiles can easily last 10 to 15 years or more with proper maintenance. A new porcelain bathtub may last a few years longer, but the cost of replacement is nearly triple what it would cost to refinish. Not only is refinishing more cost-effective, but refinishers are also able to provide extras, such as slip-resistant surfaces and custom colors.

Aesthetics: Because refinishing can match nearly any color, you can change that avocado green tub to a color you really like -- even white. Since most of us have purchased previously owned homes that were decorated according to someone else's preferences, it's probably not exactly the way you'd like it to be. Now you can change that 1970s color scheme in just a few hours. At savings of up to 75% percent of the cost of replacement, it's a hard value to beat. Not only will your bathtub look great, but it will also feel silky smooth!

The Bottom Line: If your Bathtub needs to be repaired, changed because of rust stains, dents, an odd or old color or you just want it looking brand new. Give Surface Evolution a call, and we will be glad to assist you.
