Replacing Your Old Bathtub? Save Money by Choosing a Bathtub Liner or Shower Restoration Instead - Cincinnati Bath Solutions - Cincinnati

Over time, bathtubs can become stained and look dirty, even after you’ve cleaned them. But rather than replacing your amenity after it becomes worn, consider updating its appearance with a bathtub liner or refinishing project. Read on to explore how these cost-effective alternatives can transform the look of your bathroom at a fraction of the price of tub replacements. 

Bathtub Liner

Bathtub liners are molded inserts, typically made of acrylic, that fit over cast iron and steel bathtubs. Matching wall liners with shelves and other storage features are also available, which offer a seamless way to enhance the appearance of aging walls without extensive bathroom remodeling.

For an elegant look, you can choose a bathtub liner in a variety of different finishes, giving you the beauty of natural stone or marble without breaking the bank. These mold-resistant liners will last for decades, making them a durable, cost-effective solution for updating your bathroom.

Full tub replacements can cost upwards of $3,000, mostly due to the demolition of the old tub, several days of labor, and complicated plumbing work. But bathtub liners don’t require extensive plumbing, and they can usually be installed in just one day, instantly giving your tub a rejuvenated appearance. They typically cost around $500 to $1,500 depending on the features, making them a great option for most budgets.

Bath & Shower Restoration

Sometimes referred to as “bathtub reglazing,” bath and shower restoration involves adding a new coating to the area, which covers up stubborn stains and scratches. During this process, a technician will sand the old coating off, patch up any chipped areas, and then spray on a new coating. The end result is a glossy, smooth surface that looks as good as new. And no matter the style or theme of your bathroom décor, you can reglaze your bathtub and shower to match.

Compared to the cost of labor and parts for full tub replacement, bath and shower restoration is a very cost-effective alternative. At only $300 to $600 for a full reglazing, this wallet-friendly option can completely update your bathroom. While more advanced finishes and glazing products cost more, even high-end reglazing is usually under $1,000. And instead of waiting a week for bathtub replacement, you can enjoy your newly finished tub and shower a day or two after they’ve been reglazed.
