Remodeling can be fun, and creative. Nothing is more fulfilling that watching designs come to life with vision and creativity. For those looking for ways to change color schemes, and create a masterpiece of beauty, but don't quite know how to overcome old tubs, consider a tub refinish. Not only will help interior vision to come to life, but it will also present substantial remodeling savings.
To buy a new tub will often cost thousands after all work associated with the new tub has been completed. This may involve paying plumbers to install new piping as the previous piping no longer works with the new tub, or it may also involve paying tiling experts. A refinish will save on these costs, and at most will require a handyman. Completing a refinish can save up to 75% of what a new tub would cost.
Refinishing can be complicated, especially if there is damage to tubs, so assess the job before beginning to determine if the job should be completed by those with knowledge about refinishing. Understanding the refinishing process might help homeowners determine this. Some jobs will require the tub be removed and taken to a workshop, however most can be completed at home.
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.
The tub will then be assessed for any cracks, or repairs that are needed. Many chips or unsightly surfaces can be repaired very simply. Once repairs have been achieved a durable, acrylic coating is applied.
Part of the process of the tub refinish is applying new colors, and there a variety of finishes to choose from. Choose the color before starting the acrylic finish process. Choices range from basic finishes to more fashionable, such as stone and faux finishes.
If homeowners are not only replacing tubs, but completing a total room remodel think about the chosen color scheme, theme, or style. Consider if the walls will be painted, tiled, or if stonework with mosaics will be completed. This is an important consideration when choosing tub finishes. For total room remodeling finishes should go with the total design theme to create the mood and style homeowners are trying to achieve.
Basic colors are best with painted walls. With stone and mosaic walls, or faux finished walls more fashionable or modern finishes might compliment other design details. Consider the style of tub as well. Some tubs will simply need restored, others will compliment a total design concept.
Different types of tubs can be restored. These include porcelain, cast iron, and claw foot. No matter what type of tub refinish is occurring or the style of the room or tub, refinishing presents the opportunity to remodel at a fraction of the cost. Not only that but homeowners can expect long lasting results.
