By Larry Hall


What really save people from stress is having a relaxing bath at the long work day. That is why we want our bath tubs to be clean and ready to be used always. But there are times that it gets dirty no matter what that is where we do bathtub refinishing Springfield.

The ancient roman and Greek know what is up with water and took it to make it enjoyable in terms of taking a relaxing bath. Since eighteen hundreds the makers or distributors of ware plumbing products have reproduce similar to ceramic texture from the creations of the past. Some bathtub has inspiration design from the past like the claw foot for the tub.

The original finishes on bath tub should be most durable the spray on finish could perform very well if it is maintained properly. The bath tubs that has damaged or scratched could either be repair by replacing or just refinishing it, the latter would cost you less than the first given option. The fiberglass could be used in repairing a two to six inch wide hole.

Fiberglass shower and tub modules began replacing the cast iron and the pressed steel bathtubs including the bathroom construction. In fifty years a lot of new manufactured produce got added to bathroom fixtures around the world. People start to change the old shapes, colors, finishes and design into modern.

The holes really should repair with fiberglass resin and mesh that is included mostly in today kits you would have to follow the instruction specifically and literally. The first one would be scrubbing the surface with two hundred twenty to two hundred forty grit of sandpaper then be rinsing it with water. The tub should be dry completely after proceeding to second stage of it.

When the surrounding area and the tub are far gone like there are missing tile already or cracks, then the relining is the solution. The common solution in homes that are built in few decades ago, it is the way. The configuration and design of bathtub will lead to relining anyway but the old houses from history with freestanding bathtub could not be relined however.

Allow certain amount of time in drying, around forty five to thirty minutes is enough. The sand smooth and then apply again some primer reducer for second coat. By now the tub will be ready for the primer coat or base that is in compressed spray air.

When the time and the money is in your hand and one is committed to make bigger project such as total replacement of the bathtub then one should do it. The house owners who do not want the shape, size or location of the existing tub then they would have the opportunity to customize it. Tip though, the liner usually takes day or two in order to complete, so cover the walls in advance.

The installing of liner could cost little than replacing the whole bathroom though it cost more than refinishing. In installing a new liner, contractor would have to determine exact model and make of the existing bathtub. Custom liner will exactly fit the tub, and the installation would take several hours. It should give the tub a new look.
