If your bathtub is chipped or worn, you have a couple of options for restoring it. While you could always have the whole tub replaced, another option to consider is bathtub refinishing. Here, we’ll weigh the benefits and drawbacks of the refinishing method to help you decide which approach is best for your needs.

If you’re seeking a budget-friendly route, bathtub refinishing is certainly the more economical way to go. When a whole tub is replaced, the basin itself isn’t just removed; fixtures, plumbing, and trim built around your tub must also be replaced or recreated. Thus, the cost of the replacement tub along with these other considerations can climb into the range of thousands of dollars. Refinishing costs just a fraction of the price: typically below $500.

The old tub often needs to be cut apart to be removed, which can be a large-scale process that disrupts your household routine. Refinishing is a more efficient process: Professionals will resurface, reglaze, and refinish your bathtub in just a small amount of time, but the results can last up to 15 years.

The only downside of refinishing bathtubs is the inability to choose a new tub style. Since you’re keeping the same shape, you won’t have as many choices for a new design as you would with a replacement. Nonetheless, refinishing professionals can create custom colors to match your color scheme and align with your personal preferences for a flawless finished look.
