Remodel Your Bathroom With A Tub Refinish

By Cara Torres





Changing colors in a bathroom can only be fun, but it can add life and creativity. It's always fun to the see the finished product come to life, that involves themes and designs. When remodeling sometimes it is difficult to overcome issues, such as old or stained tubs that seem to get in the way of the new design concept. Before throwing the old tub away consider a tub refinish, which is more cost and time effective.



New tubs, sinks and fixtures can sometimes cost thousands, especially when considering that not all new tubs properly fit spaces, sometimes making new tiling and plumbing necessary. This means not only hiring refinishing experts, at the price of a handyman, but having to hire licensed plumbers as well. Refinishing can save up to 75% on total costs, or more, depending on if the job is completed as a do it yourself project, or hiring a handyman.



Some homeowners may think this is a project that can be easily completed themselves. Before beginning a project such as this consider all things involved, and determine if personal skills line up with the knowledge and skill needed to complete the project. For instance, this job may require knowledge of tub repair, filling chips and cracks. Knowing the process involved might help homeowners determine the personal skill and knowledge needed to complete the project.



One of the first things a professional will do is a two step cleaning method on the tub that will deep clean the surface of the tub. Chemicals will be used to complete this process. The chemicals will remove any deposits, scum, oils or other hard to clean materials. This will create a smooth finish, which is important to the bonding process later.



Investigating the tub for cracks or chips after it has been cleaned is advised. Some chips and stained surfaces can be repaired with little effort, and some are more complicated. After repairing, an acrylic finish is completed.



Because this process involves the application of new colors, its best to decide on colors prior to the application. No matter what the color it can be applied during this process. Basic colors can be chosen, such as whites, yellows, greens and reds. Other fashionable finishes can also be chosen, such as faux, or another stone tub refinish.



When choosing colors make some basic considerations, such as what color would best fit with the overall theme, or style of the room. Consider the other design techniques, such as methods of covering walls, and colors. Consider the overall mood and design elements.



For painted walls a basic finish is probably better. For faux finished walls, or stone work, a faux finish or natural tone on tubs might work well. Also consider what type of tub is being refinished when choosing colors. Some tubs will simply need to be restored to original colors.



Restoring becomes easy with a tub refinish. Refinishing can bring porcelain, claw foot, or cast iron tubs back to original colors, which is especially important for antique tubs. No matter what the overall design concept, refinishing will assist homeowners in restoring tubs and creating overall room designs. Interior decorating has never been so easy, and neither has refinishing.
