There is nothing more creative and fun than remodeling a bathroom, or updating color schemes, and watching rooms take on a new life. There are many ways to change overall color schemes to create the beauty homeowners are looking for. Some might be a little confused as how to beautify bathrooms, and overcome unsightly or old tubs. Before purchasing a new one consider a tub refinish, which can create maximum savings.
New tubs, sinks and fixtures can sometimes cost thousands, especially when considering that not all new tubs properly fit spaces, sometimes making new tiling and plumbing necessary. This means not only hiring refinishing experts, at the price of a handyman, but having to hire licensed plumbers as well. Refinishing can save up to 75% on total costs, or more, depending on if the job is completed as a do it yourself project, or hiring a handyman.
Some homeowners may think this is a project that can be easily completed themselves. Before beginning a project such as this consider all things involved, and determine if personal skills line up with the knowledge and skill needed to complete the project. For instance, this job may require knowledge of tub repair, filling chips and cracks. Knowing the process involved might help homeowners determine the personal skill and knowledge needed to complete the project.
One of the first things a professional will do is a two step cleaning method on the tub that will deep clean the surface of the tub. Chemicals will be used to complete this process. The chemicals will remove any deposits, scum, oils or other hard to clean materials. This will create a smooth finish, which is important to the bonding process later.
The tub will then be assessed for any cracks, or repairs that are needed. Many chips or unsightly surfaces can be repaired very simply. Once repairs have been achieved a durable, acrylic coating is applied.
Part of the process of the tub refinish is applying new colors, and there a variety of finishes to choose from. Choose the color before starting the acrylic finish process. Choices range from basic finishes to more fashionable, such as stone and faux finishes.
When thinking about new colors, consider the design and theme being created. This is especially important if this is a total redesign of the room, or overall themes and styles are being changed. To determine the color of the tub refinish think about if the walls will be painted, tiled or if stone will be used. Tubs can compliment these color and style techniques.
For painted walls a basic finish is probably better. For faux finished walls, or stone work, a faux finish or natural tone on tubs might work well. Also consider what type of tub is being refinished when choosing colors. Some tubs will simply need to be restored to original colors.
Restoring becomes easy with a tub refinish. Refinishing can bring porcelain, claw foot, or cast iron tubs back to original colors, which is especially important for antique tubs. No matter what the overall design concept, refinishing will assist homeowners in restoring tubs and creating overall room designs. Interior decorating has never been so easy, and neither has refinishing.
