2 Indicators that your bathtub is in need of refinishing (reglazing).

Bathtubs are an expensive investment, and certainly not something you’ll want to be replacing frequently. Often times when people think they need a new tub, the tub itself is perfectly fine- it’s the appearance of the surface that gives off an uninviting look. Here are a few signs to lookout for that might indicate it’s time for a reglazing! 

1.  Chipping

If you use your bathtub regularly, it’s common that chipping will occur over time. Between dropping items like bottles of shampoo or soap, or if you have a child that takes toys in the tub, the surface can easily become chipped. Not only does this look bad, but it also means that your tubs protection against moisture is gone. This can eventually cause rust and water damage to the iron or steel that your tub is made for.

2.  Discoloration

If your once crisp white bathtub is starting to show a brownish-yellow, splotchy off-white, or pink coloring, this is a clear indicator that your tub needs refinishing. Often times this could be a sign of hard water or mold issues. No matter what the cause, it will be difficult to reverse without a tub reglazing completed.
