Why Refinish Rather Than Replace?

The Real Cost of Replacement

Visit any home improvement store and you can find a brand new bathtub for under $200. Seems like an amazing deal right? At first glance, a new tub may seem like a better deal, but when you consider all factors you will soon find that $200 discount tub may really end up costing you $1,000 or more!

Bathtub Replacement-The Balloon Effect

Purchase bathtub, tiles, surrounds or whatever you choose to use.
Make arrangements to haul tub and surrounds to your home (if you dont own a truck yourself)
Demolish and remove old tub and tile-be aware this may require you to do plumbing, dry wall, new flooring etc.
If you cannot remove and install yourself figure in costs for contractor, plumber, flooring, supplies etc.
Dont forget the removal/land fill fees for disposing of a bathtub

$200 quickly ballooned into over $1,000! Best case scenario, if you remove the tub yourself, do all the demolition yourself, do the plumbing yourself and install the new tub yourself, you will still have damage to the floor and walls where the tub was removed and you will need to replace walls, flooring as well as purchase new faucets and most likely plumbing.

Benefits of Refinishing

Refinishing Process is affordable.
Refinishing/Reglazing is completed in less than 1 day.
There is absolutely no clean up or prep work for the home owner.
A reputable refinisher will provide a free written estimate, explain the process and warranty his work.
Refinished tub warranties are often LONGER than warranties on a cheap new tub.
Older, cast iron, original tubs are much higher quality than tubs sold in stores today. By refinishing, you can preserve yours rather than getting a cheap replacement.
Refinishing/reglazing is completely custom. The home owner can make any color change imaginable.
Reglazing/Refinishing is a green alternative. New Finish offers green eco friendly coatings. There is also no demolition and old tubs being dumped in landfills.

Refinishing/Reglazing is a great option to remodel your bathroom in a quick and cost effective way. The results are dramatic and the home owner can achieve a newly remodeled look and feel for a fraction of the price. With reglazing/refinishing, there are no surprises or hidden fees.
