Over time, the acrylic surface in your bathtub may have visible scratches and even become worn down. A new bathtub installation can get expensive very quickly. A great alternative option to consider is to have your acrylic bathtub refinished. Carefree Koatings offers expert bathroom finishing services to customers in the Fairfield and Cincinnati area. Chuck Pitzer, the company’s owner and contractor, has been the trusted source for the community for over 25 years.

If you are having a hard deciding whether you should replace or refinish you acrylic bathtub, here are some questions to consider before making the big decision:

• Does The Tub Still Get The Job Done? Older bathtubs tend to be higher in quality than today’s newer models. If you have an acrylic bathtub that's sore on the eyes but excellent in quality, having it refinished is a great way to restore your tub to like-new condition.
• Are You Concerned About The Amount Of Time Involved In The Project? There can be many unforeseen complications during the process of replacing a tub. A bathtub refinishing, on the other hand, is a far less complex service, which means there is a lower probability of delays occurring. If time is a major factor for your bathroom upgrade project, a bathtub refinishing may be perfect for you.

• How Much Are You Willing To Pay In Labor Fees? As stated earlier, replacing a bathtub is a costly endeavor. In addition to the cost of equipment, you have to pay labor fees. There can be many different workers involved with the process of replacing a bathtub, which can quickly lead to an expensive bill. The process of refinishing your bathtub involves fewer people and is far easier on your pockets.

When compared side by side, bathtub refinishing is the economical and overall easier option. However, if there is irreparable damage to your acrylic bathtub and you do not mind spending the extra bucks, a replacement may be a better option.

If you are considering a full bathroom upgrade, Carefree Koatings also offers bathroom sink and bathroom tile refinishing services. Chuck uses the KV40 glazing system to give you a refinished sink and wall tiles that look like new, as well as a safe reglazing experience. Fiberglass shower?
