of remodeling their bathrooms and kitchens. Finding the right style, size that fits
and is the right color is often an obstacle. Buying new tubs, and sinks can set you back
quite a bit.

The expense of having the tub ripped out and replaced with a
new one can easily reach $2000 to $3000.
Many old tubs won't even fit through the door, so major demolition has
to be done. Then there is the cost of
replacing tile, flooring, sheetrock, doors and much more.
A pleasant alternative to all this is to simply have the tub
refinished.
The advantages are many: First, nothing needs to be removed. The refinished tub stays in place. Second, the process can be completed in less than a day. Third, the savings are significant. A tub can be refinished for as little as $250.00.

The process involves cleaning the tub and etching it to make
the surface porous. Then an aerospace
primer is applied using an HVLP system.
With the surface properly prepared, a high gloss porcelain topcoat is
applied, giving the tub a like new
appearance.
The HVLP Spray System stands for high volume, low
pressure. Simply put, this means the
coating that is sprayed stays on the surface instead of accumulating into the
air. There is very little
overspray. This eliminates any odor
problems.

When money is tight, like it is today, this is a great way
to give your
bathroom a nice facelift. And don't forget the kitchen. You can have your kitchen countertops, sinks,
cabinets and even appliances refinished.
In this article, I have explained a revolutionary process
that can save lots of money when remodeling a bathroom, or kitchen. I have explained a process (the HVLP system)
that allows you to have a bathtub or sink totally refinished at a very low
cost. This system allows a wide variety of color choices making it easy to
match color schemes when designing and remodeling your bathroom or kitchen.
When money is tight but you still want to beautify your bathroom or kitchen,
look into refinishing. Remember, you don't

It's good to know that not everything in our society is throw away. I never realized you could restore a bathtub until I read your blog.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing how beautiful the refinished tub looks. This is perfect for those who are trying to save money or don't want to go through the demolition! :D
ReplyDeleteBeing a plumber by trade I have seen a number of refinished tubs. Unless someone told you that the tub had been refinished, you would think it was brand new.
