When an older bathtub falls into a condition of disrepair, the question arises of what to do with it next. You may hear completely contradicting views. Some believe that replacing plumbing fixtures with a brand new one is the most reasonable solution. Others are in favor of restoration, as it’s a more affordable and simple method to return the product to its attractive, original appearance. Let’s learn more about these options so that you can make the most advantageous decision for your situation.
COMPLETE BATHTUB REPLACEMENT
The purchase of a new bathtub is often due not only to the fact that the old one has fallen into disrepair but also because of a planned complete bathroom overhaul. For example, your requirements for a bathtub may have changed; you might now need a tub with a lower rim, or one that is more spacious or longer.
In other cases, the decision to install a new bathtub might lead to the following obstacles:
BATHTUB RESTORATION
The main argument in favor of restoration is the fact that most likely, the structure itself is not in disrepair. Often, the damage only affects the outer layer of the enamel. Over years of use, the surface can turn yellow, crack, or simply lose its shine. In addition, rust or limescale may form. In such cases, a brief restoration process can restore the surface to a snow-white, smooth finish. This is achieved by a special enamel-pouring technique, which creates a strong, dense, uniform layer. The bathtub becomes like new.
So, if your goal is to give your bathtub a fresh, clean look, consider the option of restoration. This will save you a significant amount of money over time, and the quality of the coating may even surpass that of a new bathtub.
