As your bathroom ages, it can be tempting to want to gut everything and start over. But, complete bathroom remodeling projects can be expensive. Before you make that investment, it might be worth it to look into bathroom refinishing instead. If you like your fixtures, but they just need a little life put back in them, refinishing may be just the thing you need. Plus, you’ll be able to save some money.

Need help getting started? Fortunately, the bathroom refinishing pros at Contemporary Refinishing in Saint Ann, MO, have put together a few keys to a successful bathroom refinishing project.

3 Keys For Your Bathroom Refinishing Project

Make Sure the Fixture Can Be Refurnished

First, you want to make sure your project won’t be in vein. Surfaces like porcelain, fiberglass, and cast iron, can often be refinished, but you must make sure the surfaces aren’t overly worn, or showing signs of pitting. If they are, they’ll look uneven and bumpy after the refinishing process.

Figure Out if You Want to DIY

For all projects, you’ll want to clean, sand, prime, paint and seal the fixtures. There are plenty of DIY kits for refinishing your fixtures, but it’s important to know that most won’t include a few basic supplies. You’ll also want to make sure you have a respirator, gloves, goggles, sander, spray gun, paintbrushes, tarps, and fans to circulate fumes. It can also be a very labor intensive process, so make sure you’re up to putting in some effort.

Consider Hiring A Pro

The other option is to hire a professional bathroom refinishing services. When evaluating a service, makes sure they have experience and customer reviews that vouch for their work. Depending on the size and nature of your project, you can expect to spend between $300 and $1000 on hiring a pro.
