Refinishing vs. Replacement vs. Tub Liners
A worn bathtub does not automatically mean it has to be removed. Understanding the differences between refinishing, replacement and liners can help homeowners choose the approach that best fits the condition of the existing space.
Bathtub Refinishing
Refresh the look. Refinishing can give an existing bathtub a significantly updated appearance.
Finish options. Different color and finish possibilities may be available depending on the material and project.
Preserve existing character. Older cast-iron and other durable tubs may still be structurally useful even when the finish looks worn.
Address cosmetic wear. Professional refinishing may help improve discoloration, surface wear, staining, rust-affected cosmetic areas, chips or other repairable imperfections. Not every type of damage can be refinished.
Less demolition. Keeping an existing fixture can reduce the amount of removal and rebuilding required.
Potentially less disruption. Refinishing can generally involve fewer surrounding repairs than complete demolition and replacement.
Bathtub Replacement
Replacement can be the right choice in some situations. It also introduces additional project questions:
- How will the existing tub be removed? Large tubs can be difficult to take out of an existing bathroom.
- Will demolition be required? Surrounding tile, wall material or flooring may be affected.
- How will the old fixture be disposed of? Removal and disposal become part of the project.
- Will plumbing need adjustment? A replacement fixture may require plumbing modifications.
- What surrounding repairs will be needed? Walls, floors or tile may need additional work after removal.
- What is the total project scope? The cost of a new bathtub is only one piece of a larger replacement project.
Bathtub Liners
Tub liners are formed surfaces installed over an existing bathtub. Considerations may include fit, installation quality, moisture management, reduced interior space, future repair or removal, and the condition of the surface underneath.
If a liner is improperly fitted or sealed, moisture can become a concern between the liner and the original surface. Surface Elite can help you compare whether refinishing the existing fixture is a better fit for your space.
