Resurface or Replace? That Is The Question, Pt. 1
Hidden Costs of Bathtub Replacement
Anyone can pick up a new bathtub at Lowe’s or Home Depot for as low as three or four hundred dollars, which makes replacing a bathtub seem affordable, right? The truth is, the costs of replacing a bathtub don’t end once you’ve purchased one; you’ll also have to consider the cost of demolition, removal, and disposal of your original tub. For those brave souls who have joined the DIY revolution and test their skills on replacing a bathtub, the likelihood of causing damage to the wall surfaces, plumbing, and other parts of the bathroom increases.
Bathtub Resurfacing is Less Complicated
The process of tub resurfacing is not nearly as complicated as that of replacing a bathtub. Sometimes and especially when homeowners attempt to replace a bathtub on their own, replacing a bathtub can lead to other bathroom upgrades, or even a total bathroom makeover. If the new bathtub dimensions don’t fit with the allotted space, this may mean knocking down walls or making adjustments so that it fits, which can lead to a whole mess of unexpected costs. Hiring professionals to resurface a bathtub means you’ll be getting quality work at the hands of experienced technicians who can make your existing bathtub look and feel like new.
