Refinishing your bathtub is an easy way to breathe new life into the space without committing to an entire overhaul. This option will give the structure a new look and enhanced shine. Here are some suggestions to help you prepare for bathtub refinishing.

How to Prepare for Your Tub to be Refinished

1. Check the Space

Your technician will make sure to protect the bathroom with adequate sheeting, but it’s important to remove your belongings beforehand. Transfer your toiletries, any kids’ items, and additional objects to another space for the duration of the project. This includes the shower curtain, hanging towels, and wall décor. Leave the room as clean as possible.

2. Deal With Repairs

Clinton, CT bathtubIf you have any plumbing issues in your tub, resolve them before work begins so that you don’t disturb the integrity of your newly refinished surface. Have a plumber tackle a stubborn clogged drain or a leaking pipe, for example, or replace a shower head that you’ve wanted to change for months. Prioritize the fixes so you can enjoy your newly refreshed tub when it’s ready.

3. Ready Your Home

Make sure that you clear away space inside your home to accommodate your contractors. Remove area rugs that might cause people to trip, pick up belongings that are scattered along the way, and keep pets and children away from the space while the professionals are working. This will make the contractors’ job easier since they won’t have to watch out for anyone.

4. Prep Another Bathroom

It won’t be possible to use the bathroom for the duration of the project. Prepare another bathroom in your home for temporary use during work and after if you need to wait for odors to dissipate.
