Can’t decide on which method you want to do to improve your bathtub/shower? Here we have laid out the Pros and Cons of Remodeling Options for you:
1. Re-Glazing the tub: the pros to this are that is can be done in one day and it is cheap. But the cons of this are it is prepared with caustic chemicals, toxic odors, it is prone to peeling, there is a 3-7 day curing time and this type of method is not meant to last a long time.
2. Ceramic tile with grout: the pros of this method are that there are a lot of versatile colors. The cons are that it stains easily, the grout embeds soap, shampoo, and dirt, grout also allows water penetration, mold and mildew will build up and lastly, this method is expensive.
3. Fiberglass: pros are that it is lightweight but the cons are it is not nearly as durable as other options and the surface cracks and scratches easily. The finish tends to fade and there are limited color options to choose from.
4. Acrylic is the option we suggest and here is why:
a. Our products are non-porous and mildew resistant.
b. Easy to clean just spray and wipe!
c. Acid and alkali resistant.
d. Impact resistant.
e. Aesthetically pleasing high gloss luster.
f. Keep the water hot up to 4 times longer than a steel or cast-iron tub!!
